Select all of the statements about fatty acid melting points that are true.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]4 years ago
6 0

The answers that apply include;

  • A saturated fatty acid with a greater molar mass has a higher melting point than a saturated fatty acid with a low molar mass
  • A saturated fatty acid has a higher melting point than an unsaturated fatty acid

Saturated acids do not have double bonds in their hydrocarbon tails. Therefore, because there are no kinks in the chains, the chains are well compacted due to numerous hydrogen bonds between each. The larger the chains (directly proportional to molar mass), the higher the melting point of these fats.

a strip of impure copper is given to you. how will you purify it by using chemical effects of electric current ?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

This can be done through electrolysis. Electrolysis is the separation of a substance  into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance by passing an electric current through a solution that contains ions.

In the case of copper,  we use a  copper (II) sulphate  solution which we put in a large beaker. The impure copper will be used as the positive electrode (anode) and for the negative electrode (cathode)  will be a bar of pure copper.

When the electric current is switched on, the bar of pure copper which is the cathode  increases greatly in size as copper ions leave the anode of impure copper and attach to  the cathode.  The anode becomes smaller and smaller as it loses copper ions until all that is left of it is impurities in form of a sludge beneath it.

What is the reduction half-reaction for 2Mg + O2 --&gt; 2MgO?​
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Here every atom of oxygen takes in 2 electrons, which means that a molecule of oxygen will take in 4 electrons. On the other hand, the oxidation state of magnesium is going from 0 on the reactants' side to +2 on the products' side, which means that magnesium is being oxidize
