Palmitic acid C16H32O2 is a dietary fat found in beef and butter. The caloric content of palmitic acid is typical of fats in gen

eral.
Part A
Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of palmitic acid. Use \rm H_2O(l) in the balanced chemical equation because the metabolism of these compounds produces liquid water.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though? 
<span>This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! </span>
<span>Try </span><span>C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) 

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which substance burns under the presence of oxygen or in other words reaction of hydrocarbon with oxygen to produce water and carbondioxide.

Palmitic acid when undergoes combustion it gives carbondioxide and water.

The balanced chemical  equation is given as:

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(s)+23O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+16H_2O(l)

According to stoichiometry, when 1 mol of palmitic acid reacts with 23 moles of oxygen to give 16 moles of carbondioxide and 12 moles of water.

Why does it generally take more enthalpy to ignite a solid than a gas or liquid?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It is due to the nature of the reactants

Explanation:

To ignite a solid, we require more heat component compared to liquids and gases. For ignition to occur, oxygen gas combines with a reactant in most cases.

Some factors affect the rate rate at which a chemical proceeds. One of the factors is the nature of reactants.

The solid phase is very slow while the gaseous phase is rapid and fast.

            solid phase < liquid phase <  gas phase

Gases are free and the molecules move in all direction. They easily combine and react very fast.

Preliminary preformulation studies for a new candidate drug molecule does not include one of these
devlian [24]

Answer:

Pilot scale up

Explanation:

Preformulation studies are carried out on candidate drug molecules that show sufficient pharmacological promise in animal model(pharma approach).

It involves preliminary study of the properties of a drug which is considered a potentially active ingredient against a particular disease condition.

Scale-up is the term used to refer to the increase in the batch size of a product. This is only done after a drug has been proven successful against the target disease after extensive pilot studies.

Scale-up is the last operation carried out when a drug has passed through all stages. It is not included in preliminary preformulation studies
