Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu

g Increasing the number of unsaturations in a fatty acid ____________ the melting temperature of the fatty acid.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

Fatty acid which have the double bond or triple bond are called unsaturated fatty acids. Because of the double or triple bond, unsaturated fatty acids are loosely packed and form some distance among molecules which lowers the melting point of unsaturated fatty acids.

So, if the unsaturation of fatty acid will increase, it leads to more branched and loosely packed molecules and decreases the melting temperature accordingly.
