Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

Double bonds do not rotate, while single covalent bonds rotate freely.

A

FALSE

Single covalent bonds are arranged in tetrahedron that enables it to rotate freely.

Double covalent bonds have planar structure.

Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

Large Values of Keq means unfavorable reaction.

A

FALSE. It is because a large value of Keq is obtained if there are more products are yield. Therefore, if the Keq is high, then it is a favorable reaction.

Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Non-polar do not dissolve in water.

20
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Phospholipids are amphiphilic.

A

TRUE

Because amphiphilic refers to the presence of both polar and non-polar regions. Since a phospholipid bilayer has hydrophilic heads and non-polar tails, they are considered amphiphilic.

21
Q

Non-mixing of hydrophobic molecules are water rooted in the increase in —————- favored in the unmixed state.

22
Q

Spontaneously form lipid bilayer in water

A

GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS and SPHINGOLIPIDS

28
# TRUE OR FALSE Strong acids, such as NaOH completely dissociate in water.
FALSE. NaOH is not an acid, but a base. However, strong acids, like HCl completely dissociate in water.
29
# TRUE OR FALSE Strong bases, such as NaOH completely dissolve in water.
TRUE
30
# TRUE OR FALSE Acetic acid only partly dissociate in water.
TRUE
31
measure of the strength of weak acid
pKa
32
# TRUE OR FALSE Weak acids with lower pKa values are weaker than those with higher pKa values.
FALSE Lower pKa values are stronger than those with higher pKa values. In simple terms, the relationship is inversely proportional.
