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.

A 0.175 M solution of an enantiomerically pure chiral compound D has an observed rotation of +0.27° in a 1-dm sample
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm

Explanation:

Given that:

The path length (l) =  1 dm

Observed rotation (∝) = + 0.27°

Molarity = 0.175 M

Molar mass = 133.0 g/mol

Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.175 mol/L × 133.0 g/mol

Concentration in (g/mL) = 23.275 g/L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL

Concentration in (g/mL) = 0.023275 g/mL

The specific rotation [∝] = ∝/(1×c)

= 0.27°/( 1  dm ×  0.023275 g/mL )

= 11.60° mL/g dm

Thus, the specific rotation of D is 11.60° mL/g dm

Approximately how many particles are in 2 moles?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1.2\times10^2^4 particles in 2 moles.

Explanation:

The number of particles that are contained in one mole, the international unit of amount of substance: by definition, exactly 6.022×10²³, and it is dimensionless. It is named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

It is also known as Avogadro's constant.

∴ Number of particles in one mole = 6.022\times10^2^3

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole = 2 times Number of particles in one mole

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole=2\times6.022\times10^2^3=12.044\times10^2^3\approx1.2\times10^2^4

Hence there are 1.2\times10^2^4 particles in 2 moles.

How many molecules are present in 265 moles of CCl
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Option C. 1.60x10^26 molecules

Explanation:

Avogadro's hypothesis proved that that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

From the above, we understood that 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

then, 265 moles of CCl4 will contain = 265 x 6.02x10^23 = 1.60x10^26 molecules

From the calculation made above, 265 moles of CCl4 contains 1.60x10^26 molecules.
