- Briefly explain why the aromatic hydrocarbon azulene, C10H8, possesses a significant dipole moment. Use diagrams as needed to illustrate/clarify your answer.arrow_forwardThe hydrophobic effect is one of the most important noncovalent forces directing the self-assembly of biomolecules in aqueous solution. The hydrophobic effect arises from tendencies of biomolecules (1) to arrange polar groups so that they interact with the aqueous environment by hydrogen bonding and (2) to arrange nonpolar groups so that they are shielded from the aqueous environment. Show how the hydrophobic effect is involved in directing the following. Q.) The formation of lipid bilayers by phospholipidsarrow_forwardStearic acid (C18H3602) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. It is used to make cosmetics, ointments, soaps, and candles and is found in animal tissue as part of many saturated fats. In fact, when you eat meat, you are ingesting some fats containing stearic acid. Determine the AHrxn for this combustion given the following information: AH of stearic acid = -948 kJ/mol, AHf of CO, = -394 kJ/mol, AHf of water = -242 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat (q) released in kJ when 261.8 g of stearic acid reacts with 903.9 g of oxygen. Enter a positive number to 0 decimal place.arrow_forward
