Answer:

Based on the information, the compound is a phospholipid.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a fatty acid tail which is hydrophobic in nature and a head which comprises of phosphates that is hydrophilic in nature. Hence, phospholipids are amphiphilic compounds so they will be partially soluble in water and will allow water-soluble substances to mix with fats.

Hence, the composition of the substance described in the question confirms that is a phospholipid. As it's structure contains hydrocarbon and phosphorus and might also contain nitrogen.

NH4NO3, whose heat of solution is 25.7 kJ/mol, is one substance that can be used in cold pack. If the goal is to decrease the te
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

Explanation:

To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:

4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y

8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y <em>(1)</em>

Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.

Also, the energy Y will be:

Y = 25700J/mol×\frac{1mol}{80,043g}X

Y = 321J/g X <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1)

8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X

8363J = 237,32J/gX

<em>X = 35,2g</em>

<em />

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

I hope it helps!

Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?
kramer

Answer:

Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?

a. Al (s)

b. H2O (l)

c. HCN (g)

d. CH3COOH (l)

e. C2H6 (g)

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderness.

In solids, the entropy is very less compared to liquids and gases.

The entropy order is:

solids<liquids<gases

Among the given substances, water in liquid form has a strong intermolecular H-bond.

So, it has also less entropy.

Next acetic acid.

Between the gases, HCN, and ethane, ethane has more entropy due to very weak intermolecular interactions.

HCN has slight H-bonding in IT.

Hence, the entropy order is:

Al(s) < CH3COOH (l) <H2O(l) < HCN(g) < C2H6(g)

What volume of 0.550 M KBr solution can you make from 100.0 mL of 2.50 M KBr?
Lostsunrise [7]
M1V1 = M2V2
(2.50)(100.0) = (0.550)V2
V2 = 455mL

You can make 455mL of 0.550M solution from 100.0mL of 2.50M solution.

Check all the boxes that describe the electron sea model. It is the simplest metal bonding model. It is the most complicated met
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Another view could be from this definition: (Electron Sea Model) : The metallic bond consists of a series of metals atoms that have all donated their valence electrons to an electron cloud that permeates the structure. This electron cloud is frequently referred to as an electron sea. It might help to visualize the electron sea model as if it were a box of marbles that are surrounded by water. The marbles represent the metal atoms and the water represents the electron sea.
