Stearic acid, fatty acid commonly found in animal fat has a condensed Chemical formula CH3(CH2)16COOH. It is a common component

of soaps and detergents. Which of the following statements is false?
A The -COOH group would experience hydrogen bonding with water
B The long alkane ''tail" CH3(CH2)16 -, is hydrophbic
C Stearic acid and water are probably miscible
D Stearic acid would probably dissolve in non polar solvents such as hexane C6H14
E Stearic acid contains hydrophobic regions

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A. The -COOH group would experience hydrogen bonding with water.

The statement is true because , double bonded oxygen atom of carboxylic group interacts with hydrogen atom of water molecule and oxygen atom of water molecule is in same interaction with hydrogen atom of carboxylic acid.

B. The long alkane ''tail" CH_3(CH_2)_{16} -, is hydrophobic.

The statement is true because , region which do not interacts with water molecule is termed as hydrophobic region and region which do interacts with water molecule is termed as hydrophilic region. Generally ,alkanes are are hydrophobic in nature so is the alkane chain in stearic acid.

C. Stearic acid and water are probably miscible.

The statement is false because of higher hydrophobic region the interaction between the acid molecules and water molecules results in immiscibility.

D. Stearic acid would probably dissolve in non polar solvents such as hexane C_6H_{14}.

The statement is true because of hydrophobic part in stearic acid is larger so that is why it get easily dissolve in non polar solvents.

E. Stearic acid contains hydrophobic regions

The statement is true because of higher hydrophobic region due to which they easily get dissolved in organic and non polar solvents.

Calculate the number of moles in the following: 2.8 X 10^24 atoms of Cl2
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.65 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 2.8 × 10²⁴ atoms of Cl2

So we have

n =  \frac{2.8 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23}  }  \\  = 4.65116279069...

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.65 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.
