Give the effect on the melting point of the presence of a cis double bond in a fatty acid.
vovikov84 [41]

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.

It should be scientific law since a hypothesis is like a prediction and a theory could be used to explain something although it might not be true. There’s many theories just to explain one thing. So it should be scientific law

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave              Wavelength

(1) Microwave  =   1 m to 1 mm = 10^9 nm to 10^6 nm

(2) Ultraviolet  =    10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves  =   1 mm to 100 km = 10^6 nm to 10^{14}nm

(4) Infrared  =    700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray  =   0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible =   400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu = frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

c = speed of light

\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

E=h\nu

E\propto \nu

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5
