Explanation Glycerophospholipids are molecules containing an ester linkage of phosphoric acid and amino group or alcohol group. They can interact with any polar and non-polar compounds because of the presence of both polar and non-polar regions. They contain fatty acid in their structure making an ester linkage with hydroxyl group whereas the last hydroxyl of glycerol forms linkage with phosphoric acid which again makes phosphoester linkage with amino alcohol. Lecithine and cephaline both are glycerophospholipids. In Lecithine, amino alcohol is present which make ester linkage with phosphoric acid but in cephaline, ethanolamine making an ester linkage with phosphoric acid is present...

3. Titanium(III) chloride can be used to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene. It is prepared by hydrogen reduction of Titanium(IV) chloride. Reaction of hydrogen gas with titanium(IV) chloride gas produces solid titanium(III) chloride and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a BALANCED chemical reaction for the preparation of titanium(III) chloride (b) A 250 L reaction vessel at 325°C is filled with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 1.3 atm. Titanium(IV) chloride is then added to bring the total pressure to 3.00 atm. How many grams of titanium(III) chloride will be produced after completion of the reaction? (c) What will be the pressure of the resulting hydrogen chloride gas that is also produced?
