What structural feature of lecithin allows it to behave like an emulsifying agent?

Chemistry

stepladder [879]3 years ago
6 0
Lecithin is an emulsifier agent that's composed of 5 smaller molecules: phosphoric acid, choline, glycerol( is the backbone), and two fatty acids. 

The fatty acids, which are hydrophobic (afraid of water), makes this substance more similiar to fats and represent the non-polar part of the lecithin.
The phosphate group is the polar portion of the molecule and it's the negatively charged. The choline is positively charged, which readily dissolve in water<span>.

</span><span>Lecithin is a good emulsifier because of these structural features. the hydrophobic contacts with the oil, while the hydrophilic end contacts with the water.</span>

Which of the following statements regarding enzymes is FALSE? a. Enzymes alter the free energy change (ΔG) of the reactions whic
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Enzyme function is dependent on the three-dimensional structure or conformation of the enzyme

Explanation:

Enzyme are biological catalysts.

So they do alter the path of the reaction where the free energy change (or activation energy) is low then the non enzymatic pathway.

Thus the statement

Enzymes alter the free energy change (ΔG) of the reactions which they catalyze : True

It is known that for enzyme we function they need an optimum temperature and pH condition so the statement

Enzyme function is dependent on the pH and temperature of the reaction environment: true

This is also true that

Enzyme activity can be inhibited if the enzyme is bound by a noncompetitive inhibitor.

The false statement is : Enzyme function is dependent on the three-dimensional structure or conformation of the enzyme

A chemist prepares a solution of silver(I) nitrate (AgNO3) by measuring out 269. micromol of silver(I) nitrate into a 300. mL vo
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The concentration of the chemist's silver(I) nitrate  solution is  0.897 mmol/L

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Number of moles AgNO3 = 269 micromol = 269 * 10^-6 mol

Volume of AgNO3 = 300 mL = 0.3 L

Molar mass of AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate molarity of AgNO3

Molarity = number of moles per volume (in Liters)

Molarity AgNO3 = 269 *10^-6 mol / 0.3 L

Molarity AgNO3 = 8.97 * 10^-4 M

8.97 *10^-4 mol/L = 897 micromol/L = 0.897 mmol/L

The concentration of the chemist's silver(I) nitrate  solution is  0.897 mmol/L
