Question

5. The specific gravity of lipid is
a) 1.5

v)1.0

c)0.8

d)0.2​

Answer 1

Answer:

The specific gravity of lipid is $0.8$

Explanation:

Lipids are defined as a substance that is insoluble in water (polar solvents), but soluble in alcohol and chloroform (organic solvents).

Lipids are lighter than water. They include:

1. Fats and oils (triglycerides)
2. Phospholipids
3. Waxes
4. Steroids

• Specific Gravity is defined as the weight of a sample, at a given temperature, which is divided by the weight of the volume of water, at the same temperature, or a different given temperature.
• As specific gravity is a ratio, it has no unit.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.8 that is option c

Explanation:

• Lipids are defined as a substance that is insoluble in water.

• Lipids are lighter than water.
• Include:

1. Fats and oils (triglycerides)
2. Phospholipids
3. Waxes

Specific gravity= weight of sample/weight of the volume of water

(no unit because weight unit has been cancelled during division)
