Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Solution:

(b)

Explanation of Solution

The lipids are a diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds and chemical components of the cell. They are characterized by their solubility in nonpolar organic solvents (e.g., ether, chloroform, acetone, and benzene) and general insolubility in water. The long alkyl chain present in the fatty acid makes it nonpolar and insoluble in water. Therefore, it is a lipid.

The multiple hydroxyl groups present in the molecule in option (a) make it polar and soluble in water. Hence, option (a) is not correct. It is a carbohydrate. The amine group, carboxylic acid group, and relatively small chain present in the molecule in option (c) make it polar and soluble in water. Hence, option (c) is not correct. It is an amino acid. The compound in option (d) is an ether and is insoluble in water and soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, but it is not found in a cell. Hence, option (d) is not correct.

Conclusion

Thus, the correct option is (b).

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: N2O4 (g) 2NO2 (g) AG⁰ = 5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 1.68 atm of dinitrogen tetroxide (N204) at 148. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2O4 tend to rise or fall? x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO2? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO2? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO 2 needed to reverse it.

Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base equilibria Your answer is incorrect. • Row 2: Your answer is incorrect. • Row 3: Your answer is incorrect. • Row 6: Your answer is incorrect. 0/5 The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HF is a weak acid. acids: HF 0.1 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 0.7M HF solution. bases: 0.13 mol of HCl is added to 1.0 L of a solution that is 1.0M in both HF and KF.
