Is lauric acid polar?
Yes it is. It is composed of a non-polar carbon chain with a polar COOH head.
What is the chemical formula for carboxyl ion?
COOH-
Why are alkanols and alkanoic acid soluble in water?
They are soluble in water as the functional group (-OH for alkanols and -COOH for alkanoic acids) make each of the molecules polar and can therefore form a bond with water.
Group an organic acid that has a COOH group?
An organic acid with a COOH group is called a carboxylic acid.
Why COOH is an base?
because
Is lauric acid polar?
Yes it is. It is composed of a non-polar carbon chain with a polar COOH head.
Would amino acids diffuse through the membranes?
No because all amino acids are polar. RCH(NH2)COOH as the COOH part disassociates and polar compounds can not passively pass through a cell membrane. There are carrier proteins that negotiate that passage.
Is H2CO polar or non polar?
H2CO is a polar molecule. It contains a carbonyl group, which is a C=O bond. O is an extremely electronegative atom, compared to carbon.
What is the chemical formula for carboxyl ion?
COOH-
Why is one side of a fatty acid hydrophilic?
Because fatty avid has 'COOH' at one terminal which is polar part and attracted by water.
What is the atomic number of cooh?
"cooh" is not an element and therefore does not have an atomic number.
What is the COOH part in the molecule of an organic acid?
COOH, or CO2H, is a 'carboxyl'.
What is the functional group called a carboxyl?
The carboxyl group is writed -COOH.
Why are alkanols and alkanoic acid soluble in water?
They are soluble in water as the functional group (-OH for alkanols and -COOH for alkanoic acids) make each of the molecules polar and can therefore form a bond with water.
Why can not benzoic acid be dissolved in water at room temperature?
To be soluble a solution must be capable of being dissolved in a solvent, usually water. The HCL cannot ionize into H+ with the COOH ring in the Benzoic acid. Benzoic is hydrophobic in this solution.
Is adenine polar or non polar?
Alanine is an amphoteric substance: both acidic and basic at the same time. However, it is neutral in a pH = 6.1 solution: CH3CH(NH3+)COO- It is positvely charged ( by excess of H+) at lower pH sol'n CH3CH(NH3+)COOH and negatively in pure water or more basic solution CH3CH(NH2)COO-.
Group an organic acid that has a COOH group?
An organic acid with a COOH group is called a carboxylic acid.
