when liquid water changes into solid ice, it increases in mass
O,P,Ge ranked from atomic radius
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
Chemical is the answer your looking for.
This is not a phospholipid as it does not contain a phosphate group at the end of the chain, and is not a triglyceride as there is no glyceryl moiety. Each carbon bonded to hydrogens makes the maximum number of C-H bonds possible, therefore there are no multiple bonds between carbons and the lipid is saturated. Therefore the answer is A.
Hope this helps!
