Summary Introduction

To determine:

The comparison between the structures of a soap molecule to a phospholipid and the reason as to why a soap’s polar head is smaller than that of a phospholipid.

Introduction:

Soaps are defined as a mixture of sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids which are formed by the reaction of fats and oils with an alkali. The basic structure of soap consists of a long hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head.

Phospholipids belong to a class of lipids, which is a main structural component of cell membranes and have a glycerol backbone with fatty acids linked to it through an ester bond.

What is the predominant intermolecular force acting between molecules in a mixture of CCl4 and CH3OH.
Why is hexane more volatile than water? Explain by mentioning the differences in their structure and intermolecular forces of attraction.
Processed foods that are made from both polar and nonpolar ingredients often include at least one ingredient called an “emulsifier" to prevent separation during storage. Lecithin is an emulsifier used in many commercial salad dressings. The picture below shows its molecular structure. Use its structure and your knowledge of polarity and its effect on liquid miscibility to explain how lecithin prevents the vinegar and oil in salad dressing from separating. Note: Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid in water. Molecular structure of lecithin: H,C-0 -C -CH, -CH2 -CH2 -CH; -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH -CH; -CH2 -CH2-CH2 -CH;-CH, H,C-0 -C -CH; -CH -CH2 -CH; -CH; -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH, -CH, -CH2-CH; -CH; -CH2-CH3 CH, H,C -0 -P -0 -CH, -CH, -N -CH, CH,
