What causes a substance to be hydrophobic?

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0
The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

What is the expected mass (in kg) of a 10 over 5 B isotope? 1 proton = 1.6726 × 10-27 kg 1 neutron = 1.6749 × 10-27 kg A.1.67 ×

^{10}_5 B
An atom of this isotope contains 5 protons and 10-5=5 neutrons.

5 \times 1.6726 \times 10^{-27} + 5 \times 1.6749 \times 10^{-27} = \\
8.363 \times 10^{-27} + 8.3745 \times 10^{-27}= \\
16.7375 \times 10^{-27}= \\
1.67375 \times 10^{-26} \approx \\
1.67 \times 10^{-26}

The answer is A. 1.67 × 10⁻²⁶ kg.

The average kinetic energy of 1 mole of a gas at -32 degrees Celsius is:
 
3.80 x 103 J

The relationship between volume and temperature of a gas, when pressure and moles of a gas are held constant, is: V*T = k.

FALSE

The relationship between moles and volume, when pressure and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: V/n = k. We could say then, that:
If the moles of gas are tripled, the volume must also triple.


 If the temperature and volume of a gas are held constant, an increase in pressure would most likely be caused by an increase in the number of moles of gas.

TRUE

If the vapor pressure of a liquid is less than the atmospheric pressure, the liquid will not boil.

TRUE


35 - AB

36 -  BD

33 - true

34 - False

20 - 6

21 - orthohombic
