What is the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in this compound C H O?
The ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in the compound CH2O is 1:1.
What functional group is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids?
The carboxyl group (-COOH) is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids. This group can donate a proton (H+) when in solution, leading to the release of hydrogen ions and contributing to the acidic nature of fatty acids.
Does acids contain the H group?
Yes, acids typically contain hydrogen (H) atoms which are responsible for their acidic properties. In an aqueous solution, acids donate protons (H+ ions) to other substances.
Fatty acid with one covalent bond?
A fatty acid with one covalent bond is known as a monounsaturated fatty acid. This means that the fatty acid molecule has one double bond between carbon atoms in its hydrocarbon chain. Monounsaturated fatty acids are important components of a healthy diet and can be found in foods like olive oil, avocados, and nuts.
What makes a fatty acid an acid?
generally they do not react as acids do not want to react with other acids but if they were to react the stronger acid would attach the fatty acids hydoxide that is part of the carboxyl group.
How do the number of hydrogen atoms compare to the number of oxygen in each fatty acids?
Bec in each fatty acid the o has a bond with h I think?!
Does Saturated fatty acids have H in all available carbon bond positions on the carbon chain?
yes because all the c atoms are saturated with maximum no. of h atoms.
What general formula represents all fatty acids?
Fatty acids consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) arranged as a carbon chain skeleton with a carboxyl group (COOH) at one end. The general formula is: CH3(CH2)xCOOH where x is the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
Does fatty acid have a phosphate group?
Fatty acids contain C, H, O.
What is the ratio of hydrogen atoms to sulfur atoms in acid?
In sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), the ratio of hydrogen atoms to sulfur atoms is 2:1, as there are two hydrogen atoms for every one sulfur atom in the molecular formula. If referring to other acids containing sulfur, such as thiosulfuric acid (H₂S₂O₃), the ratio may vary accordingly. However, in the case of sulfuric acid, the ratio remains consistent at 2:1.
What is an acid and why are amino acids and fatty acids called acids?
Acid are those which donates protons (H+). bronsted and lowry theory. amino acids and fatty acids produces protons that's why they are called Acids .
What is the ratio of H atoms to O atoms in water?
3 : 2
What fatty acid has had hydrogen atoms chemically added to its carbon chain?
When unsaturated fats, fats containing unsaturated fatty acids, are 'hardened' by chemical H2 addition to the double -CH=CH- bonds in the carbon skeleton, those C atoms become 'saturated' with two H atoms each (i.s.o. one): -CH2-CH2-.
What chemical feature distinguishes a saturated fatty acid from unsaturated fatty acid?
The unsaturated ones are the ones with one or more double bonds in the carbon chain, by which they are lacking 2 H atoms per double bond as compared with the saturated fatty acid. The unsaturated ones are in general more 'healthy' with respect to possible cholesterol build up in blood vessels (cardial risks)
What is the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in this compound C H O?
The ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in the compound CH2O is 1:1.
How do the number of hydrogen atoms compared to the number oxygen atoms in each fatty acid?
Bec in each fatty acid the o has a bond with h I think?!
What type of bonding do lipids have?
The type of chemical bonds for lipids are nonpolar C-H bonds. The actual bonds that attach the fatty acids to the glycerol are refered to as ester linkages
