Answer:
The cis double bond present in unsaturated fatty acids acids results in lower melting point when compared to saturated fatty acids of the same chain length.
Explanation:
Melting point of a fatty acids are affected by the length and degree of unsaturation of the hydrocarbon chain.
At room temperature, saturated fatty acids with hydrocarbon chain lengths between 12-24 are waxy solids whereas unsaturated atty acids of the same chain length are liquids. This is due to the nature of the packing of the fatty acid molecules in the saturated and unsaturated compounds.
In the saturated compounds, the molecules are tightly packed side by side with minimal steric hindrance and maximal van der Waals forces of attraction between molecules. However, in unsaturated fatty acids, the cis double bond introduces a bend or kink in the molecules which then interferes with the tight packing of the molecules and reducing interaction between molecules. Therefore, less energy is required to cause a disorder in the arrangement of unsaturated fatty acids, leading to a lowering of melting point.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:
2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)
<h3>Explaination:</h3>
This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,
ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.
Doing so we obtain :
2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

Answer:
PBr3 - Molecule , Polar
N2H2 - Molecule , (Polar in E- form and Non- polar in Z form)
C2H2 - Molecule , Non- Polar
N2 - Molecule , Polar
NCl3 - Molecule , Polar
SiF4 - Molecule , Non- Polar
NH3 - Molecule , Polar
F - Not- Molecule (atom)
H2 - Molecule and Non- Polar
Explanation:
Molecule : these are group of two or more atoms joined by strong force of attraction.
H2 is non- polar because it is homoatomic molecule.(made up of same element)
N2 is non- polar because it is homoatomic molecule.
