Answer:

The compound is a saturated fatty acid.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are <u>carboxylic acids with a long chain</u>, which can be 3-carbon long-chain atoms or above. According to the saturation of its bonds, they can be saturated (all single bonds) or unsaturated (mono or polyunsaturated, depending on the number of double bonds present in the molecule).

In this case, since it is a saturated fatty acid and it has 26 carbons, it is called cerotic acid, or hexacosanoic acid.

A red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions. Indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given choices:

Explanation:

  • The RBC crenation is implied through NaCl by 2,67 percent(m/v) because that solution becomes hypertonic to RBC because of the water within the RBC that passes externally towards the outskirts. RBC thus shrinks.
  • 1.13% (m/v), because the low concentration or osmotic that all this solution shows is hypotonic regarding RBC because of the water which has reached the resulting swelling in RBC.
  • Distilled H2 implies hemolytic distillation.
  • Glucose is indicated by crenation at 8.69 percent (m/v).
  • 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9% (m/v) (Crenation is indicated by NaCl.v)

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.
bearhunter [10]

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.

Can we use electrical equipment near water? Explain Why?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

You may, but it is too risky.

Even though you are being cautious around using electric equipment around water, you'll never know what can happen. You might accidentally drop that piece of electrical equipment you are using into the water. Water can be splashed around by someone or something without you noticing it and it may affect the object you are using. Sometimes, if water comes in contact with an electrical object, it may cause you electric shocks or the equipment you are using has a chance of exploding and may hurt you. You can guarantee that waterproof electrical equipment is safe to use, but it is better not to risk it too much.

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2
