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.

As you have seen in this lab, the density of water is near 1 g/cm3. Anything with a density lower than this will float in water,
hammer [34]
The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.

If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Curvature

Explanation:

In mathematics, curvature is any of several strongly related concepts in geometry. Intuitively, the curvature is the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line, or a surface deviates from being a plane. For curves, the canonical example is that of a circle, which has a curvature ... For being meaningful, the definition of the curvature and its different

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction: 4Fe2+(aq)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→4Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l). What is the emf of this cell under st
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the  given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced  from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻           oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O   reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺   Eºred = 0.77 V  

Eº red O₂ / H₂O      Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction  O₂:

Eº cell =   Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V
