Is hydrochloric acid a fatty acid?

No, hydrochloric acid is not a fatty acid.It is a mineral acid. A fatty acid is that acid which has carboxyllic group attached to a long aliphatic chain. The aliphatic chain may or may not be saturated.


What is an alpha carbon?

In organic chemistry, an alpha carbon is the first carbon atom of an aliphatic chain which is attached to a functional group.


How will you characterize the rate of reaction of an aldehyde compared to an aliphatic aldehyde?

Typically aromatic groups attached to functional groups increase the reaction over that of an aliphatic groups. Aromatic aldehydes (e.g. benzaldehyde, C6H5.CHO), are also known which undergo a number of chemical reaction which do nor occur for aliphatic aldehydes and which are unique to aromatic aldehydes.


What is attached where the seed is attached to the ovary?

The seed is attached to placenta of the ovary by funiculus.


How can you tell the difference between a fatty acid and a protein?

A protein is a biochemical macromolecule made up of amino acid monomers (of which there are 20), while a fatty acid is generally a long aliphatic (hydrocarbon) chain attached to a carboxylic acid moiety. Functionally, fatty acids can be turned into energy, or up to three can be attached to a glycerol backbone to create a di- or tri-acylglyceride to become a component of the bilayer membrane of cells. Proteins can perform a variety of functions in the cell, and can provide structure to the cell (actin filaments), be involved in signaling (G proteins), or have catalytic activity (enzymes).

How do you name halo-carbons?

Halocarbons are a class of organic compounds containing covalently bonded fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Naming halocarbons is based on the name of the parent hydrocarbon chain and the halocarbons are simply named as substituents. For example, (using skeleton chains - absence of other hydrogen atoms (a) C-C-C-C-F is fluorobutane (as the fluorine is attached to carbon #1 of the butane chain; F I (b) C-C-C-C-C-F is 1,3,4-trifluoropentane I F (keeping the numbers as low as possible and identifying all carbons that the substituents are attached to). hope this helps


How can you distinguish aniline and primary amine?

Aniline is an aromatic ring with a single amino group attached to it (-NH2) while a primary amine is an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a single amino group.


Do Carbon compounds form rings or long chains?

Yes, both. Ring structures are called cyclic compounds and can be aromatic or aliphatic, there are a wide variety of cyclic compounds that can be made/found, such as furan and pyridine (both heterocycles). Functional groups such as OH can also be attached to a cyclic ring. "Chains" are aliphatic and are termed acyclic


What is dipole moment of chloroethane?

There are multiple forms of the molecule "chlorooctane." This is because the chlorine atom can be attached to the octane chain in several different places, and each different placement will result in a different dipole moment. If you specify the structure of the compound more precisely (1-chlorooctane or 2-chlorooctane for example), it is possible to determine its dipole moment.


What are halons?

Hi, Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion.Halon is an extraordinarily effective fire extinguishing agent, even at low concentrations. A key benefit of Halon, as a clean agent, is its ability to extinguish fire without the production of residues that could damage the assets being protected. I know a site named Halon.us which buy damaged halon extinguisher from public.


Does the functional group react differently depending on the carbon backbone?

A functional group may react differently, but does not always do so. One of the well known examples is a hydroxyl group, which ionizes sufficiently to act as a weak acid when the hydroxyl group is bonded directly to a carbon atom that is part of an aromatic ring, but not when the hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon that is part of an aliphatic chain.


Define fatty acid?

In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.


Attached herewith or herewith attached?
