Why do water and Fat not mix?
water is charged positively on the oxgen end, and negativelyon the hydrogen end. Oil does not have a charge ( it's netrual), so the oil does not mix with the water. (EDIT by Dr.J.) - Close, but actually water is charged NEGATIVELY on the oxygen and POSITIVELY on the hydrogen. So, it is POLAR, and oil is not polar, so they don't "mix".
How does the bilayer mambrane act as a barrier between two aqueous areas?
The bilipid membrane is essentially fat. It is non polar. The intracellular and extracellular fluid is made up of water and water soluable molecules which are polar. Since like dissolve like, the fluid isn't able to pass directly through the membrane. Instead molecules like ions go through selective channels. Other fat molecules like steroids and alcohol can pass straight through the membrane because thet are also nonpolar. To be more specific, the fat molecules basically merge into the membrane and reform as they
What kind of molecule is Cl2 polar or non polar?
Halogen molecules are not polar.
H3O plus is a polar or nonpolar molecule?
H2O is a polar molecule; +H3O is even more so.
Does salt dissolve in vegetable oil?
Salt cannot dissolve in oil. This is because salt is a non-polar substance, because it's bonds are non-polar (this is not to say though that polar bonds always means its a polar substance, but that's another issue). Oil is a polar substance (meaning one end of its molecule is has a slight negative charge, the other a slightly positive charge. It is known that LIKE dissolves LIKE. (e.g. Polar dissovles Polar). There are VERY few exceptions to this.
Why is eating polar bear fat healthy and cow fat unhealthy?
IDK but that is sad that anyone would want to eat polar bear fat
Why is it healthy to eat polar bear fat and eating cow fat unhealthy?
It's not. Who ever said eating polar bear fat was healthy?
Water washes out fat?
No it does not. Water consists of polar molecules, while fat consists of non-polar molecules. This means that water will not wash fat out of anything. To wash fat out of something, it is necessary to use soap.
Does a polar bear have a lot of fat or a little fat?
well, polar bears need to have fat because if they didnt, they whould all freeze to death because they live in such a harsh enviroment
Why do non polar molecules dissolve in fat?
non polar molecules dissolve in fat due to the fact that fat is also a nonpolar molecule, and have u ever heard of the saying "like dissolves in like" well non polar molecules dissolve in other non polar molecules. Hope that helps
Is fat-soluble to sodium hydroxide?
Fat is insoluble in sodium hydroxide because it is a non-polar substance, while sodium hydroxide is polar. Polar and non-polar substances do not mix well, so fat does not dissolve in sodium hydroxide.
Is heavy cream non-polar or polar?
Heavy cream is considered a non-polar substance due to its high fat content, which primarily consists of triglycerides that do not mix well with polar solvents like water. The fat molecules in heavy cream have long hydrocarbon chains, making them hydrophobic. While heavy cream does contain some water, the predominant non-polar characteristics of its fat content classify it as non-polar overall.
What is the fat on a polar bear called?
blubber
What animals live in the undergrowth?
fat polar bears
For what do polar bears use their layer of fat?
to be warm
Why does a solution of fat in dichloromethane not decolorize?
Fat is non-polar and does not bond strongly with the polar solvent dichloromethane. As a result, the fat does not dissolve completely in the solvent and retains its color. Decolorization usually occurs when a substance dissolves or reacts with the solvent, which is not the case for fat in dichloromethane.
How fat are polar bears?
polar bears can get up to 500 to 2,000 pounds or 227 to 907 kg.
