Students have asked these similar questions
Many functional groups are important in biochemical reactions. Name the functional group in the side chain of Aspartate:   a.   Carboxyl   b.   Amino   c.   amide   d.   methyl   e.   Sulfhydryl
Which of the following is NOT a functional unit of organic compounds? a. monosaccharide b. amino acids c. nucleotide d. carboxyl group
3. The metal cations present in "hard" water can decrease the cleansing power of soaps. This is because the calcium, magnesium, and iron III metal cations form insoluble precipitates with fatty acid carboxylate anions. These precipitates sometimes adhere to the bathtub to form a visible scum called the "bathtub ring." a) Use structures to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of the fatty acid carboxylate sodium palmitate with the hard-water aqueous salt iron (I1) chloride.
