Saponification occurs when a fat is heated with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to give glycerol and the sodium salts of the fatty acids, which is soap.

Saponification is the hydrolysis of fats or oils under basic conditions to afford glycerol and the salt of the corresponding fatty acid. ... It is important to the industrial user to know the amount of free fatty acid present, since this determines in large measure the refining loss.

A 12.0g sample of a substance requires 50.9 J to raise its temperature by 6.00 c. What is it’s specific heat
horsena [70]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

Let's find the specific heat of sample using given formula :

\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:Q = m \: s \triangle T

where,

  • Q = heat transfer

  • m = mass

  • S = specific heat

  • \tt \triangle T = change in temperature

\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:50.9 = 12 \times \: s  \times 6

\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:s =  \dfrac{50.9}{72}

\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:s = 0.707  \:

Therefore, specific heat of that substance is 0.707 J/g°C

How do seismologists, or scientists who study earthquakes, know that the largest known earthquake to hit the region occurred aro
denis23 [38]

Answer:

By looking at the amount of time between the P and S wave on a seismographs recorded on a seismograph, scientists can tell how far away the earthquake was from that location. However, they can't tell in what direction from the seismograph the earthquake was, only how far away it was.

Exhibits the highest intermolecular<br> forces of the states of matter.
disa [49]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

In solid there are strong intermolecular forces present as compared to liquid and gas. This is why solid are in more packed form as compared to liquid and gas. In liquid and gas intermolecular forces are week that's why molecules are away from each other and occupy more space.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don't have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
