When a double bond is placed between two carbon atoms in oelic acid, the shape of the molecule tends to bend. This is a similar occurrence of shape changing in general with fatty acids when a double bond forms

What is the diference between a physical change and a chemical change?

Chemical change: the structure of the molecule is chenged. Physical change: the structure of the molecule is not changed.


If you could break up a carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?

No, breaking up a carbon dioxide molecule into its constituent atoms (carbon and oxygen) would result in separate carbon and oxygen atoms. The molecular structure and properties of carbon dioxide would no longer exist.

How are anomers formed?

Anomers are formed through the process of mutarotation, which is the spontaneous change between the alpha and beta forms of a cyclic sugar molecule. This occurs due to the rotation of the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon and results in the formation of a new anomeric carbon center. Anomers differ from each other in the configuration of the hydroxyl group attached to the anomeric carbon.

Do benzene dissolve in CCl4?

Benzene is a nonpolar molecule as well as carbon tetrachloride, however water is a polar molecule. Based on the rules of solubility, "like dissolves like"; the attraction between nonpolar molecules have the same kind of interaction and strength but the attractions between the highly polar molecule of water are very different, therefore substituting these attractions for new attraction with benzene will require a greater change in enthalpy.


What is the relationship between carbon sinks and carbon sources in the context of climate change?

Carbon sinks are natural or artificial reservoirs that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as forests and oceans. Carbon sources, on the other hand, release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, like burning fossil fuels. The balance between carbon sinks and sources is crucial in regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which directly impacts climate change. If carbon sources exceed carbon sinks, more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
