Chemistry

Answer:

for the first question, the context is necessary in order to answer...

Fat is immiscible (does not mix) with water because fat is nonpolar and water is polar (remember like dissolves like: polar mixes with polar, nonpolar with nonpolar).

soap bubbles by having many soap molecules surround fat molecules with their nonpolar end, and direct their polar ends outwards.

For your second question:

Dirt and oil are nonpolar. When we wash our bodies with water (which is polar) it does not do a good job in removing these nonpolar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, has a long nonpolar end and a small polar end. The nonpolar end of the soap molecule attaches to the dirt and oil on your skin and when the water from the shower head hits the soap, it pulls the dirt, oil, and soap off of you by attaching itself to the polar end of the soap molecule.

If a gas at 25.0 °C occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm, what will be its volume at a pressure of 2.50 atm?

Greeley [361]

Answer:

1.44 L

Explanation:

Since 25 is constant it is no use. Now, rearrange the gas formula. You should get...

P1V1/T2=P2V2T1

Next, rearrange to fit the problem. You should get...

V2=P1V1/P2

Fill in our values and solve. You should get 1.44 L

We can check this by knowing that P and V at constant T have an inverse relationship. Hence, this is correct.

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.

Explain the scientific meaning and use of the word "transformation".

sladkih [1.3K]

Transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

The word "transformation" has a very special significance in chemistry. We know that in English, to transform would simply imply to change from one form to another. This is not quite far from its meaning in the parlance of chemistry.

The word transformation is normally applied in the area of chemical reactions especially as it has to do with reaction with in organic chemistry. It has to do with the change from one molecule to another and this is of great importance in the discussion of synthetic chemistry.

As such, the word transformation in chemistry is scientifically used to explain the process of changing one compound to another in a chemical reaction.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because __________.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate abbreviated as G3P occurs as intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

In photosynthesis, it is produced by the light independent reaction and acts as carrier for returning ADP, phosphate ions Pi, and NADP+ to the light independent pathway. Photosynthesis is a anbolic pathway.

In glycolysis, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is produced by breakdown of fructose-1,6 -bisphosphate. Further Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate converted to pyruvate and pyruvate is further used in citric acid cycle for energy production. Therefore, it is used in catabolic pathway too.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because it is present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways.
