How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?

1 answer:

3 0

In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

What is the total number of atoms in 80 grams of neon?

Wewaii [24]

You take 80 g of Neon times 1 mol over the molar mass, 20.18 g/mol and multiply by Avogadro's number.

A buffer contains 0.19 mol of propionic acid (C2H5COOH) and 0.26 mol of sodium propionate (C2H5COONa) in 1.20 L. You may want to

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

It is known that $pK_{a}$ of propionic acid = 4.87

And, initial concentration of propionic acid = $\frac{0.19}{1.20}$

= 0.158 M

Concentration of sodium propionate = \frac{0.26}{1.20}[/tex]

= 0.216 M

Now, in the given situation only propionic acid and sodium propionate are present .

Hence, pH = $pK_{a} + log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

= $4.87 + log \frac{0.216}{0.158}$

= 4.87 + log (1.36)

= 5.00

Therefore, when 0.02 mol NaOH is added then,

Moles of propionic acid = 0.19 - 0.02

= 0.17 mol

Hence, concentration of propionic acid = $\frac{0.17}{1.20 L}$

= 0.14 M

and, moles of sodium propionic acid = (0.26 + 0.02) mol

= 0.28 mol

Hence, concentration of sodium propionic acid will be calculated as follows.

$\frac{0.28 mol}{1.20 L}$

= 0.23 M

Therefore, calculate the pH upon addition of 0.02 mol of NaOH as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

= $4.87 + log \frac{0.23}{0.14}$

= 4.87 + log (1.64)

= 5.08

Hence, the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of NaOH is 5.08.

Therefore, when 0.02 mol HI is added then,

Moles of propionic acid = 0.19 + 0.02

= 0.21 mol

Hence, concentration of propionic acid = $\frac{0.21}{1.20 L}$

= 0.175 M

and, moles of sodium propionic acid = (0.26 - 0.02) mol

= 0.24 mol

Hence, concentration of sodium propionic acid will be calculated as follows.

$\frac{0.24 mol}{1.20 L}$

= 0.2 M

Therefore, calculate pH upon addition of 0.02 mol of HI as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

= $4.87 + log \frac{0.2}{0.175}$

= 4.87 + log (0.114)

= 4.98

Hence, the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of HI is 4.98.

Which of the following is not a conjugate acid-base pair? A) NH4+/NH3 B) H30-OH OC) H2SO3/HSO3 D) C2H302-/HC2H302

raketka [301]

Answer : The option (d) is not a conjugate acid-base pair.

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Or we can say that, conjugate acid is proton donor and conjugate base is proton acceptor.

(a) The equilibrium reaction will be,

$NH_4^++OH^-\rightleftharpoons NH_3+H_2O$
