Stearic acid, fatty acid commonly found in animal fat has a condensed Chemical formula CH3(CH2)16COOH. It is a common component of soaps and detergents. Which of the following statements is false?
A The -COOH group would experience hydrogen bonding with water
B The long alkane ''tail" CH3(CH2)16 -, is hydrophbic
C Stearic acid and water are probably miscible
D Stearic acid would probably dissolve in non polar solvents such as hexane C6H14
E Stearic acid contains hydrophobic regions

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A. The -COOH group would experience hydrogen bonding with water.

The statement is true because , double bonded oxygen atom of carboxylic group interacts with hydrogen atom of water molecule and oxygen atom of water molecule is in same interaction with hydrogen atom of carboxylic acid.

B. The long alkane ''tail" , is hydrophobic.

The statement is true because , region which do not interacts with water molecule is termed as hydrophobic region and region which do interacts with water molecule is termed as hydrophilic region. Generally ,alkanes are are hydrophobic in nature so is the alkane chain in stearic acid.

C. Stearic acid and water are probably miscible.

The statement is false because of higher hydrophobic region the interaction between the acid molecules and water molecules results in immiscibility.

D. Stearic acid would probably dissolve in non polar solvents such as hexane .

The statement is true because of hydrophobic part in stearic acid is larger so that is why it get easily dissolve in non polar solvents.

E. Stearic acid contains hydrophobic regions

The statement is true because of higher hydrophobic region due to which they easily get dissolved in organic and non polar solvents.

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.

explanation:

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
