Answer:

The reaction that is used to join fatty acid and glycerol is known as Lipogenesis.

Explanation:

Lipogenesis is an important anabolic pathway that helps in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol by joining glycerol with fatty acid by ester linkage.Lipogenesis occur in liver and adipose tissue .

Lipogenesis takes place in our body to store excess fatty acid in form of triacylglycerol which is a complex lipid molecule.

Alexxandr [17]

This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.
Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;
ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)
water - H₂O (g)
dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)
balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced

Balanced chemical equation
NH₄NO₃(s) ---> 2H₂O(g) + N₂O(g)

Answer:

<u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.

Correct answer - C

Explanation:

A solid sodium metal reacts with gaseous form of chlorine gas to form a solid sodium chloride.

This formation of sodium chloride arises due to transfer of one valence electron from sodium to chlorine atom and the both atoms get stable octet electronic configuration.

As a result, an ionic compound solid sodium chloride is formed.

The chemical reaction of formation sodium chloride is as follows.

$2Na(s)+Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

Therefore, <u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.

PLS HELP what is 2x10^3 in long form

saul85 [17]

Answer:

2x1000 = 2000

Explanation:

10^3 = 10×10×10 = 1000

exponent , the ^3 means multiply the number by itself 3 times, if it was ^4, it would be 4 times and so forth.

another trick for 10s is just put the 1 and the exponents number of 0's after the 1. so in this case, put three 0's: 1,000
