Is this statement true or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
Is this True or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True A+
What is more reactive oxygen or selenium?
Oxygen. Oxygen is a gas making it react faster, while sulfur is a solid.
Do solids have a low melting point?
Some do while others do not. To be solid a substance must merely have a melting point that is above room temperature. Gallium has a melting point just above room temperature, so it is normally solid but it will melt in the palm of your hand. By contrast Tungsten has such a high melting point that not even the hottest lava from Earth's volcanoes can come close to melting it.
Is this statement true or false Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature.?
True A+
Can oxygen mix with carbon?
Carbon can mix with oxygen as fine particles in suspension, which will eventually settle out if the mixture remains undisturbed. Since oxygen is a gas at room temperature while carbon is a solid, it is difficult to thoroughly mix them.
What is the state of matter of Copper 2 Sulfate at room temperature?
Copper Sulphate is a powder at room temperature, therefore it is a solid.
How is water physically different then hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are both gases at room temperature, while water is a liquid at room temperature.
Is manganese a liquid?
No, while it is possible to melt manganese it is a solid at room temperature
What happnes to the solubility of gas in a liquid after it is heated?
the solubility of a solid increases with temperature while those of gasesdecrease with rise in temperature.
State of most metals at room temperature?
It depends at what temperature. If we talk about room temperature then a natural state of a metal like Mercury is liquid (same as some non-metals like glass) while others like Copper are solid. Of course, in the vacuum of space where there is no influence of heat or sunlight, all metals are solid.
How would you describe the temperature changes that you recorded while the liquid was freezing to the solid?
it is described as vapourization
Why does the temperature not change during a phase change?
During the change of state, the molecules of a substance absorb energy to overcome the strong intermolecular force of attraction between them. Hence the heat energy which we supply is absorbed by them for this purpose. So change in temperature is not observed.
Why is nitrogen a diatomic gasious molecule while phasperous is a tetra atomic solid?
Yes, nitrogen is found as N2 and is a gas at room temperature whilst phosphorus is found as P4 and is a solid at room temperature.
Is this statement true or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
How do you determine an elements melting point?
You heat s solid, pure piece of it slowly and measure the temperature of the melt while there is still solid present.
