Chemistry

Trava [24]3 years ago

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.

Using water, how could you distinguish between the white solids kcl an pbcl2
Alexus [3.1K]
KCl and PbCl2 both are salts having the same white color, however, potassium salts are soluble in water while lead salts are not.
This means that KCl is soluble in water while PbCl2 is not.

So, to distinguish between them, add the same amount of each salt in a beakers containing water (each salt in a separate beaker of course), ans shake the beaker or steer it.
The salt that dissolves in water would be KCl while the salt that doesn't dissolve in water would be PbCl2.
