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.

24. When the equation
serg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

3

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

     Al(OH)₃  +   HNO₃   →    H₂O   +  Al(NO₃)₃  

To solve this problem, let us assign coefficient a,b,c and d to each specie;

          aAl(OH)₃  +   bHNO₃   →    cH₂O   +  dAl(NO₃)₃  

Conserving Al : a  = d

                  O:  3a + 3b  = c + 9d

                  H: 3a + b  = 2c

                  N: b  = 3d

let a = 1 , d  = 1, b  = 3 , c = 3

 Multiply through by 3;

a  = 1, b  = 3, c = 3 and d  = 1

  Al(OH)₃  +   3HNO₃   →    3H₂O   +  Al(NO₃)₃

Which rule for assigning oxidation numbers is correct?
LenKa [72]
Hydrogen is usually –1. This is INCORRECT. The oxidation number for H is +1.
Oxygen is usually –2. This is CORRECT.
A pure group 1 element is +1. This is INCORRECT. It does not follow. This will depend on the other elements and the overall charge.
A monatomic ion is 0. This is INCORRECT. Diatomic ion is 0.

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8

The reaction 2a + b --> c + d has an activation energy of 80.0 kj/mol. at 320°c, the rate constant k = 1.80 x 10-2 l mol-1 s-
Naddik [55]
To determine the k for the second condition, we use the Arrhenius equation which relates the rates of reaction at different temperatures. We do as follows:

ln k1/k2 = E / R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where E is the activation energy and R universal gas constant.

ln 1.80x10^-2 / k2 = 80000 / 8.314 ( 1/723.15 - 1/593.15)

k2 = 0.3325 L / mol-s
