Answer:

Fatty acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the given formula, it is possible to infer that the O₂ at the end, accounts for the presence of a carboxyl group (first attached picture), characteristic of carboxylic acids. Moreover, long-chained carboxylic acids are considered as fatty acids due to their high nonpolarity and hydrophobicity, therefore, the molecule with such formula probably a fatty acid, more precisely, stearic acid (second attached picture).

Best regards.

How many molecules are present in 265 moles of CCl
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Option C. 1.60x10^26 molecules

Explanation:

Avogadro's hypothesis proved that that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

From the above, we understood that 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

then, 265 moles of CCl4 will contain = 265 x 6.02x10^23 = 1.60x10^26 molecules

From the calculation made above, 265 moles of CCl4 contains 1.60x10^26 molecules.

How do I find the slope of this graph?​ Is it even possible?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Not exactly But you can take the slope of the curved portion and the slope of the flatline.

It wont do you much good since your working for absorbance but if you ever see something like a temperature change you can use the slope(s) to find freezing points/melting

Explanation:

If you need to submit a slope you could use a best fit which is just point to point or you could break it up like i mentioned
