Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fatty acid contains high number of double bonds then its unsaturation will also be high and hence, it will consume greater number of equivalents of hydrogen.

In corn oil, there are no unsaturated sites are present.

In olive oil, there is one unsaturated site with majority of oleic acid. In olive oil, there are more than 70% of total unsaturated oils.

In lard oil, there are around 60% of unsaturated oils.

In herring oil, there are highest number of saturated fatty acids and lowest polyunsaturated acids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, olive oils would consume the greatest number of equivalents of hydrogen when subject to catalytic hydrogenation.

Question 5 why does grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water? smaller crystals are mo
My name is Ann [436]
Grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water because smaller crystals have more surface area. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as the temperature, pressure and the pH of the solution. For example increase in temperature increases the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.

How many grams of the excess reactant remain assuming the reaction goes to completion and that you start with 15.5g of na2s and
tangare [24]
The reaction between Na2S and CuSO4 will give us the balanced chemical reaction of,
                                     Na2S + CUSO4 --> Na2SO4 + CuS
This means that for every 78g of Na2S, there needs to be 159.6 g of CuSO4. The ratio is equal to 0.4887 of Na2S: 1 of CuSO4. Thus, for every 12.1g of CuSO4, we need only 5.91 g of Na2S. Thus, there is an excess of 9.58 g of Na2S. The answer is letter C.
