Saturated

Question: what is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and saturated fat? both have saturated in them, i know saturated fats are not a good source but what about saturated hydrocarbon, are they a good source? if vegtable oil is a mixture of organic compounds and does not dissolve in water, does it mean that the v. oil is unsaturated or saturated. if saturated fats are not good for health, why are the vegetable oils which are unsaturated fats convert into saturated fats such as margarine. does this have anything to do with saturated hydrocarbon?

Answer: Saturated hydrocarbons are any hydrocarbon that contains the maximum amount of hydrogen available. A Saturated fat is more specific as it has to be a LONG carbon chain, and has glycerol endings. For example: Stearic acid is considered a saturated fat, but not a saturated hydrocarbon because stearic acid contains a carboxylic tail (a hydrocarbon contains only carbon and hydrogen). Ethane is considered a saturated hydrocarbon, but not a saturated fat, because it is only two carbons long. To answer your other questions: Any oil will not dissolve in water--it doesn't matter if it is saturated or unsaturated. However, since unsaturated fats are generally liquid at room temperature, it forms an immiscible layer with water (if you mix water and vegetable oil, you will see two layers). Unsaturated fats generally are liquid form at room temperature, while saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Most people want a healthy alternative to butter (saturated fat) that they can spread on bread and stuff, so a partially-saturated fat (margarine) will be healthier, and will allow you to spread on bread. However, I've seen people dip bread in olive oil and stuff.

Question: How would you change a saturated solution to an unsaturated solution? What would you do to change: a saturated solid/liquid solution to an unsaturated solution? a saturated gas/liquid solution to an unsaturated solution?

Answer: -heat the solution (increasing temperature increases solubility) -stir the mixture - crush the solids in the mixture to increase surface area to dissolve more hope this helps!

Question: How can I get saturated photographs with a film camera? I have a film camera and I have some color film and I've always wanted to get these saturated images and I just don't know how.

Answer: Typically it's done with the film you use. Such as Kodak's Ektar series or you could go with Lomography film as well. Both give you good saturation (Lomo gives you an over saturated look). Other than that, you could try to cross process the film, though you have to have special equipment in your dark room for this.... it's easier to do it with the film.

Question: What is a way you can make a saturated solution? We did a lab dealing with saturated/supersaturated/unsaturated solutions and one of the questions we are given is: List three different ways of making a saturated solution. This is all I came up with and i don't even know if it makes any sense: One way a saturated solution could be made was by measuring carefully out an exact amount that went over the saturated point. Then, an amount that was right underneath that could be used to make a saturated solution. Can anyone help me figure ways to make a saturated solution? Thanks!

Answer: Yes it all makes sense...when you grow crystals scientifically and economically the first method you said was one way: to measure an exact amount. Another way is to mix 2 or more petrochems or other compounds and the reaction of them can cause a saturated solution. and then a 3rd way is called Evaporation. Imagine getting a sample of sea water and allowing it to evaporate. Well as pure water evaporates from the sea water, the sea water becomes more saturated.

Question: what effect is saturated colors supposed to have in a film? When a cinematographer used saturated colors, what sort effect is it supposed to have on the audience? Or, What is the purpose for using saturated colors?

Answer: Saturated colors are more vivid, hotter, alive. Also, since it takes more light to saturate colors, movies with saturated colors have a greater depth of field, same adjectives apply. Sometimes saturated colors give a cartoonish hyper-real feel. Or a comic book feel. Desaturated colors can be depressing, romantic, or "realistic"---- depending on how they are used. Usually they are shot with less light and have shallower depth of field. Look at Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing for saturated colors. Shot in New York in the humid BRIGHT summer. Look at anything older on the BBC for desaturated colors. Shot in grey-skied England.

Question: What is the difference between saturated solution and dynamic equilibrium mix? How can you tell if the solution really is saturated, or the solvent is just too slow in dissolving the solute? zZz...Nice try dumbshit but that site is malware. Don't you think we have a reason for having internet protection? Get a life. EDIT: The answer is removed. owned!

Answer: If a solute is too slow in dissolving then rate of dissolution can be enhanced by stirring or other forms of agitation. This doesn't help if the solution is in equilibrium which means solution is saturated.

Question: What would happen if a hot saturated solution was filtered? What would likely happen if a hot saturated solution were filtered by a vacuum filtration using a Hirsch funnel? (I get a hint that the mixture will cool as it comes in contact with the funnel) Please explain and thanks!

Answer: it would be a MESS!!!! A hot saturated solution filtered suing a Hirsch or Buchner funnel would be the following: The saturated HOT solution is filtered it then rapidly cools due to evaporation under vacuum. When it cools, the solution becomes supersaturated and usually precipitates since it cools too rapidly to crystallize nicely. As it precipitates, it clogs USUALLY the funnel. Worse yet as when clogs the filter, your solution sits in the top of the funnel stuck (remember HOT saturated solution)..

Question: What's the difference between saturated and unsaturated solutions? Okay so I need a little chemistry help please!! And how do you know, or how can you tell when one is saturated or unsaturated?

Answer: Saturation point is when something cannot hold anymore dissolved solute. For example, when we dissolve some salt in water it all dissappears right? but if we try to dissolve alot of salt, then some of it will dissolve and some will not. this is because water can only have so much salt dissolved in it, at that point, it is saturated and no more salt can be dissolved in the water. Unsaturated just means that it hasnt reached the saturation point yet.

Question: What plants work well in completely saturated areas? My backyard is immense but over half of it is extremely saturated.. at all times. What can I plant here that will not be drowned out .Any suggestions will be great, thanks! Keep in mind I live in a highly humid area, southern Louisiana.

Answer: Iris, the lousiana type, as well as Siberian and Japanese Iris. Willows. ferns. Some grasses. Do a search on 'bog gardens' to get some more ideas. Or just plant cattails and rushes. Maybe a Taxodea, what are they called...Bald Cypress. They do make nice looking trees.

Question: What is the molarity of a saturated solution? What is the molarity of a saturated solution of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) if the solubility is 13 g per 100 g H2O at 25 oC? The density of the solution is 1.1g/mL PLEASE SHOW HOW YOU GOT THE SOLUTION, THANKS!

Answer: Molarity = moles/liter and the molar mass of pot. sulf. is 174.259 gms/mole. You have 13 grms in 100 gms water which is = 13 gms/100 mls water = 13/174.259 moles/100mls = 0.075 moles/100mls = 0.75 moles/liter = 0.75 M.

Question: How does limiting one’s intake of saturated fats help fight against obesity and being overweight? I’m a bit confused. I’m doing a problem solution essay about obesity and wrote that one solution is reducing one’s intake of saturated fats, but other than lower health risks I can’t seem to find how it affects weight and obesity. Can you help me out? Thanks!

Answer: Cutting saturated fat helps lower cholesterol levels. In terms of obesity cutting the overall fat content consumed will help, but ultimately it is about the amount of calories you consume in a day versus the amount used up. Keeping within the calorie recommendations for your age and gender, reducing fat consumption and taking regular exercise will help achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Question: How can I tell which altitudes air is saturated given dewpoint and temperature? I have been given temperature and dewpoint recordings for different altitudes. What is the relationship between dewpoint and temperature? I know that when temperature and dewpoint are the same, air becomes saturated and a cloud base starts to form. How do I determine the height of the cloud from this data? (from cloud base to cloud top). Can someone please explain this to me its very confusing.

Answer: As you write, the dew point temperature is the temperature at which a certain air parcel can't sustain more cooling down without condensing its moisture. Dew point is when the relative humidity is 100 percent. Dew point temperature is calculated with the wet & dry bulb thermometers. In the old days, seafarers often had one fixed on the outside of the bridge. Met officers at airports used a sling thermometer they would rotate to create apparent wind and cool down the wet bulb. When both reading are recorded, a psychrometric chart is used to plot them and find the dew point temperature. Aircraft pilots read the METAR, which is the local weather report, when both OAT (outside atmospheric temperature) and dew point is noted. That tells us (I fly a light aircraft) how humid the air is. The difference of the two temperatures is called the spread. If it is high, the air is dry. If it is low, the air is humid and we may face e.g. carburettor icing. To estimate the base of the clouds, we use the standard adiabatic lapse rate with altitude which is 3 F per 1,000 ft, or 0.65 C per 100 meters. Say if the METAR shows 56/50 then the spread is 6 F and clouds can be expected to be at 2,000 ft. That is a rule of thumb that is very approximative and works only in a standard condition of convection creating nice cumulus clouds. In other conditions such as an inversion (warmer air above cold one) it won't work. The height of a cloud, from base to top, can't be calculated because it all depends on the amount of moist air available at the base and how the real lapse rate is. If the measured lapse rate is high, i.e. the air temperature sinks fast with altitude, then the clouds will keep growing higher and higher. This is when the air is called unstable. When it happens, it is not unusual to see the parcel of air to rise all the way to the top of the troposphere. When it happens, we get thunderstorms.

Question: How to make a saturated solution of NaCL at 20 C in 100mL of water? Write out the exact steps you would need. Include any equipment you would need. Also, is 70g of KI at 20 degrees C in 50 mL of water unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated? Thanks!

Answer: NaCl is actually salt... so you just mix some of it with water... At 100mL of water, at 20 degrees, you must diluate 35,8grams to be saturated... but as you rise the temperature, the amount of salt rises....

Question: How can I reduce my saturated fat intake? What is saturated fat, how can I reduce it in my diet, and what foods are best to do so? Thank you :) I would like information about saturated fat in particular, not just fat intake.

Answer: All animal products contain mostly saturated fat and this includes meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products. If you want to reduce your saturated fat intake you could switch to nuts, beans, peas and lentils as most vegetable fats are unsaturated fats and these are supposed to be healthy fats. Coconut oil and palm oil are probably the only two vegetable fats that are saturated. A vegetarian diet would have a very low intake of saturated fats.

Question: What does hydrogenation do to saturated fats vs unsaturated fats? What causes hydrogenation? If natural saturated fats are subjected to high temperatures, will this make them hydrogenous? What if mono unsaturates such as olive oil are subjected to high heat, or polyunsaturated oils such as cottonseed oil? Is cottonseed oil made by heat or chemical processes?

Answer: Organic molecules consist mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and (often) oxygen atoms. Saturated fats refer to those fats whose molecules contain all the hydrogen atoms they can. Unsaturated fats contain some double bonds between some of the carbons instead. Hydrogenation breaks the double bonds, making two single bonds for each carbon; one of those will stay between the carbons, and the others will attach to hydrogen atoms supplied from some other substance. A very simple example would be ethane: H3C-CH3, which is saturated, and ethene: H2C=CH2, which is unsaturated. By breaking one of the two carbon-carbon bonds and substituting hydrogen atoms, the ethene will convert to ethane. Others can add to this information to more fully answer your questions.

Question: How is Dark Chocolate healthy when it contains so much fat, saturated fat and calories? I understand it contains antioxidants among other things but the amount of saturated fat in it is ridiculous, so is the calories. I'd say the bad kinda outweighs the good.

Answer: Here is a site that talks about all the good in Dark Chocolate.
