The third substance or agent which produce the film between the interface of two immiscible liquids and thus stabilize the system are known as an emulsifying agent.

Since the solubility of the liquids depends on the polarity of the mixing liquids the thumb rule of solubility is like dissolves like that means polar liquid dissolves in polar liquid only and vice versa. For two immiscible liquids, the emulsifying agent is used which does not chemically change the polarity of liquids but acts as bridge between immiscible liquids, the polar end of the emulsifier attach to the polar liquid and the non-polar end of the emulsifier attach to the non-polar end and thus help in dissolving.

Therefore, the one end of the emulsifier is polar and the other end is non-polar

How many moles of CO2 would be present in a gas sample of 10 L at 25.0oC and a pressure of .77 atm?

Step2247 [10]

Use PV=nRT to solve the equation. You need to solve for n (number of moles). Don’t forget to convert the temperature to kelvins by adding 25+273. Use 0.082057 for R.

In which cell structure does MOST of the process of cellular respiration take place?

ahrayia [7]

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles are basically considered the power producers of the cell, it converts oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate or ATP, which is the chemical energy,also known as "currency" of the cell which powers the metabolic actions of the cell. This process is called aerobic respiration and it is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Cellular repiration happens in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport and Glycolysis (Fermentation). Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle and electron transport take place in the mitochondria.

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters

Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as $C=O$

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, $C_nH_{2n+1}COOH$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, $R-CHO$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, $R-CO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, $R-COO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.
