Tails of phospholipids that don't like water

Chemistry
1 answer:
densk [106]3 years ago
3 0
Those tails are called hydrophobic. You can note the etymology: hydro= water, phobi = fear, aversion, dislike.

Phospholipds' tail is a long non polar chain, made of Carbon and Hydorgens, that rejects water (a polar solvent) and is attracted to non-polar compounds (oil for example).  That is why that tails can atract dirt.

Is rubbing alcohol polar, non-polar, or ionic?
Karolina [17]

Answer: Rubbing alcohol molecules have a polar and nonpolar part, which means they are able to form hydrogen bonds with water and therefore able to mix with it.

If i initially have 4.0 l of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure of 3.4 atm?
ddd [48]
  The  volume  of  a  gas  that   its  pressure  increase  to  3.4  atm   is    calculated  as   follows

  By  use  of  boyles   law   that  is  P1V1=P2V2
V1=4.0  L
P1=1.1  atm
P2=3.4  atm
V2= P1V1/P2  

(1.1  atm  x  4.0 L)/3.4  atm=  1.29  L

For the reaction A +B+ C D E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The follow
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Rate constant of the reaction is 3.3\times 10^{-3} M^{-2} s^{-1}.

Explanation:

A + B + C → D + E

Let the balanced reaction be ;

aA + bB + cC → dD + eE

Expression of rate law of the reaction will be written as:

R=k[A]^a[B]^b[C]^c

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 1 ,when :

[A]=0.30 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.30 M

R=9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s

9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s=k[0.30 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.30 M]^c...[1]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 2 ,when :

[A]=0.30 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.90 M

R=2.7\times 10^{-4} M/s

2.7\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.30 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.90 M]^c...[2]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 3 ,when :

[A]=0.60 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.30 M

R=3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s

3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.60 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.30 M]^c...[3]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 4 ,when :

[A]=0.60 M,[B]=0.60 M,[C]=0.30 M

R=3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s

3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.60 M]^a[0.60 M]^b[0.30 M]^c...[4]

By [1] ÷ [2], we get value of c ;

c = 1

By [3] ÷ [4], we get value of b ;

b = 0

By [2] ÷ [3], we get value of a ;

a = 2

Rate law of reaction is :

R=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1

Rate constant of the reaction = k

9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s=k[0.30 M]^2[0.30 M]^0[0.30 M]^1

k=\frac{9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s}{[0.30 M]^2[0.30 M]^0[0.30 M]^1}

k=3.3\times 10^{-3} M^{-2} s^{-1}
