Answer: Both (a) and (b)

Explanation:

Lipids are heterogeneous group of compounds of biochemical importance. Lipids may be defined as compounds which are relatively insoluble in water and are concentrated of energy source.

Fatty acids are aliphatic carboxylic acids and have the general formula, R-COOH, where COOH is the functional group and R group are hydrocarbon chain.

The structure of fat contains lot of C-C and C-H bonds and there are lot of calories, and therefore energy is packed into thier chemical structure.

Despite fat contains glycerol polar group, the long chains of hydrocarbon which are non polar makes fats insoluble in water.

Answer:

Both (a) and (b)

(a) rich in energy.

(b) insoluble in water.

Explanation:

Fats are stored as triesters (triglycerides), which when hydrolyzed form the three alcohol molecules (triglycerol) and three fatty acids. The acids that are liberated usually have long carbon chains that contain anywhere from 4 to 18 carbons. The C-C and C-H have high electron molecules present hence whey they are good sources of energy.

However, the bonding between carbon (C-C) and hydrogen (C-H) are not polar. This is because the electrons in covalent bonds are shared equally between the carbon and the hydrogen (due to their similar electronegative values) and there are no partial charges. Thus, long chains of C-C and C-H bonds form fats.

A solution contains 2.2 × 10-3 M in Cu2+ and 0.33 M in LiCN. If the Kf for Cu(CN)42- is 1.0 × 1025, how much copper ion remains
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

[Cu²⁺] = 2.01x10⁻²⁶

Explanation:

The equilibrium of Cu(CN)₄²⁻ is:

Cu²⁺ + 4CN⁻ ⇄ Cu(CN)₄²⁻

And Kf is defined as:

Kf = 1.0x10²⁵ = [Cu(CN)₄²⁻] / [Cu²⁺] [CN⁻]⁴

As Kf is too high you can assume all Cu²⁺ is converted in Cu(CN)₄²⁻ -Cu²⁺ is limiting reactant-, the new concentrations will be:

[Cu²⁺] = 0

[CN⁻] = 0.33M - 4×2.2x10⁻³ = 0.3212M

[Cu(CN)₄²⁻] = 2.2x10⁻³

Some [Cu²⁺] will be formed and equilibrium concentrations will be:

[Cu²⁺] = X

[CN⁻] = 0.3212M + 4X

[Cu(CN)₄²⁻] = 2.2x10⁻³ - X

<em>Where X is reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Replacing in Kf equation:

1.0x10²⁵ = [2.2x10⁻³ - X] / [X] [0.3212M +4X]⁴

1.0x10²⁵ = [2.2x10⁻³ - X] / 0.0104858X + 0.524288 X² + 9.8304 X³ + 81.92 X⁴ + 256 X⁵

1.04858x10²³X + 5.24288x10²⁴ X² + 9.8304x10²⁵ X³ + 8.192x10²⁶ X⁴ + 2.56x10²⁷ X⁵ = 2.2x10⁻³ - X

1.04858x10²³X + 5.24288x10²⁴ X² + 9.8304x10²⁵ X³ + 8.192x10²⁶ X⁴ + 2.56x10²⁷ X⁵ - 2.2x10⁻³ = 0

Solving for X:

X = 2.01x10⁻²⁶

As

[Cu²⁺] = X

<h3>[Cu²⁺] = 2.01x10⁻²⁶</h3>

2S+3O2 -&gt; 2SO3 Indicate whether S or O2 is the limiting reactant, 3mol S 4mol O, 3mol S 5mol O, 3mol S 3mol? Elemental S reac
Nina [5.8K]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃.

1) Answer is: oxygen is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol; amount of sulfur.

n(O₂) = 4 mol; amount of oxygen.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

3 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(O₂) = (3 · 3 mol) ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 4.5 mol; limiting reactant, because there is only 4 mol of oxygen.

2) Answer is: sulfur(S) is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol.

n(O₂) = 5 mol.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(S) : 5 mol = 2 : 3.

n(S) = 10 mol ÷ 3.

n(S) = 3.33 mol; there is only 3 mol of sulfur, so it is not enough.

3) Answer is: oxygen (O₂) is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol.

n(O₂) = 3 mol.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

3 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(O₂) = (3 · 3 mol) ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 4.5 mol; limiting reactant, because there is only 3 mol of oxygen.

I NEED THE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!!! Pls helppp
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.

turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.

Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.

Explanation:

  • salt is bad for turgor pressure.
  • Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
  • The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.
