Summary Introduction

To determine:

The comparison between the structures of a soap molecule to a phospholipid and the reason as to why a soap’s polar head is smaller than that of a phospholipid.

Introduction:

Soaps are defined as a mixture of sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids which are formed by the reaction of fats and oils with an alkali. The basic structure of soap consists of a long hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head.

Phospholipids belong to a class of lipids, which is a main structural component of cell membranes and have a glycerol backbone with fatty acids linked to it through an ester bond.

Write the equilibrium constant expression for the following system at equilibrium: I2 (g) ⇌ 2 I (g)
Don't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solution
We learned four factors (ARIO) for comparing the relative acidity of compounds. When two of these factors are in competition, the order of priority is the order in which these factors were covered ("atom" being the most important factor and "orbital" being the least important). However, we also mentioned that there are exceptions to this order of priority. Compare the two compounds and identify the exception. OH PK-4.75 SH PK-10.6 5. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first.
