Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase?
yan [13]
Pressure is a scientific parameter that allows us to determine the amount of force being exerted per unit area. The increase in the pressure inside a container containing a gas may be brought upon by the decrease in volume, increase in temperature, or merely by additional of more gas molecules.

lesya [120]

Answer: The products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which triglycerides react with sodium hydroxide and leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of a salt of fatty acid is known as saponification.

For example, when tripalmitin reacts with sodium hydroxide then it leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

The reaction equation is as follows.

   C_{51}H_{98}O_{6} + NaOH \rightarrow C_{3}H_{8}O_{3} + 3C_{16}H_{31}O_{2}Na^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

Which is more reactive oxygen or hydrogen? explain why?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Which is more reactive hydrogen or oxygen?

Hydrogen is not particularly reactive. For example, just mixing hydrogen and oxygen gas will not cause a reaction at room temperature, but many metal elements oxidize at least on the surface in air. ... It is combustible because oxygen wants electrons and takes them from hydrogen to form water.

Differentiate between a single atom of gold and a single atom of lead. <br> (No Multiple Choice)
tatyana61 [14]
Lead has a different chemistry than most biological metals, but it can mimic some of them, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, because it tends to form 2+ ion like other metals, and these can be formed inside the body. Due to it different chemistry, lead prevents normal functioning of the enzymes it binds to, inhibiting them and poisoning the body.


Gold rarely forms ions, unless under extreme conditions that are not present in the human body. Gold ions, when ingested, are actually very toxic, so gold poisoning is possible. But because gold are so rare, gold poisoning is also a rare phenomenon.
