Which fatty acid shown above (A or B) is a saturated fatty acid? How do you know?

Chemistry

bonufazy [111]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids contain long, unbranched chains of carbon atoms. In addition to that, there are no double bonds within the carbon atoms. Hope this helps :)

A 2.50-l volume of hydrogen measured at â196 °c is warmed to 100 °c. calculate the volume of the gas at the higher temperature
ivann1987 [24]

To solve this we assume that the hydrogen gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = (100 + 273.15) K x 2.50 L / (-196 + 273.15) K

<span>V2 = 12.09 L</span>

Therefore, the volume would increase to 12.09 L as the temperature is increased to 100 degrees Celsius.

Differentiate the claims made by science from those based on bias.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Scientists seek to eliminate all forms of bias from their research. However, all scientists also make assumptions of a non-empirical nature about topics such as causality, determinism and reductionism when conducting research. Here, we argue that since these 'philosophical biases' cannot be avoided, they need to be debated critically by scientists and philosophers of science.

Explanation:

Scientists are keen to avoid bias of any kind because they threaten scientific ideals such as objectivity, transparency and rationality. The scientific community has made substantial efforts to detect, explicate and critically examine different types of biases (Sackett, 1979; Ioannidis, 2005; Ioannidis, 2018; Macleod et al., 2015). One example of this is the catalogue of all the biases that affect medical evidence compiled by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University (catalogueofbias.org). Such awareness is commonly seen as a crucial step towards making science objective, transparent and free from bias.

Why gold is called inert metal​
astraxan [27]

Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.

Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.

Hope it helps

Describe the overall enthalpy of the chemical reactants compared to the enthalpy of the chemical products in the combustion of p
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A thermochemical equation for the combustion of propane (C3H8)(C3H8) is written as follows:

C3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔH∘rxnC3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔHrxn∘ = -2202.0 kJ/mol

The value given for ΔH∘rxnΔHrxn∘ means that:

a. the reaction of one mole of propane absorbs 2202 kJ of energy from the surroundings.

b. the reaction is endothermic.

c. the enthalpy of formation of propane is 2202 kJ/mol.

d. the reaction of one mole of propane releases 2202 kJ of energy to the surroundings.

e. None of these.
