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.

Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There is a difference between the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and the sample of the water vapor.

In the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen which are present in the ratio, 2:1 , the elements are not chemically combined. They are explosive also as both shows their specific properties. They can be separated by physical means (Condensation, diffusion).

On the other hand, in water vapor, the two elements are chemically bonded in a specific mixture which cannot be separated via physical means. Water has its unique properties and they can be separated by chemical means only.
