The -COOH is bonded to a long chain of hydrocarbons in a fatty acid.

A hydrocarbon chain is comprised of both carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. The 'acid' part is made up of the -COOH portion, whereas the 'fatty' part is made up of the long hydrocarbon chain that it is attached to.

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms also known as hydrocarbons when attached to at least one carboxylic acid functional group (COOH) then it is known as a fatty acid.

For example, $CH_{3}(CH_{2})_{10}COOH$ is lauric acid and it is a saturated fat.

Whereas a hydrocabon that contain atleast one "-OH" functional group is known as an alcohol.

A hydrocabon that contain atleast one "-CHO" functional group is known as an aldehyde.

A hydrocabons that contain atleast one "O=C-O" functional group is known as an ester.

Thus, we can conclude that a fatty acid consists of -COOH bonded to a long chain of hydrocarbons.

oee [108]

Answer:

The density of the liquid is 1.153 grams/ml.

Explanation:

You have to use the fomula of density

density = mass/volume ⇒ density = 376 grams/321 ml ⇒

density = 1.153 grams/ml.

What are Intensive and Extensive properties?

lianna [129]

Intensive properties are the properties which values doesnt change with the amount of mass or material that you have, example density, melting point boiling point, molecular mass

Extensive are properties that depends of how much mass or material you have. Example: mass, number of moles, volume, pressure, number of students, population,

mass, volume, quantity (there is only one of each), color, reflect light, temperature, energy
