Because either of the heat or the coolness

Because they insulate either the heat or the coolness within the food item. But keep in mind- when it comes to electricity aluminum isn’t an insulator.

<span>Based on the crystal field strength, Cl ligand would give the longest d-d transition when complexed with Ti(III). as this is the weak field ligand and would cause minimum splitting of d orbitals.</span>

stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid has the higher melting point, because it has two more

elena55 [62]

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

$\text { Myristic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH} \\& \text { Palmitic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH} \\$

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular van der waals interact than the myristic acid.

stearic arid $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COOH}$

linoleic acid $\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_2$ (two double bond)

Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.

Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.

$\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{34} \mathrm{O}_2$ -one double bond (cis)

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Calculate the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 46 g

Initial temperature = $-25^{o}C$

Final temperature = $100^{o}C$

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.05 $J/g^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

$q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})$

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass

C = specific heat capacity

$T_{1}$ = initial temperature

$T_{2}$ = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 46 g \times 2.05 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - (-25))^{o}C\\= 11787.5 J (1 J = 0.001 kJ)\\= 11.787 kJ$

Thus, we can conclude that the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

How does lanthanide contraction influence the density of period 6 transition element

Kitty [74]

Answer:

For example, the atomic radius of the metal zirconium, Zr, (a period-5 transition element) is 155 pm (empirical value) and that of hafnium, Hf, (the corresponding period-6 element) is 159 pm. ... The increase in mass and the unchanged radii lead to a steep increase in density from 6.51 to 13.35 g/cm3.
