Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The melting point of elaidic acid is to be compared with the melting points of stearic and oleic acids.
Concept introduction: Fatty acids are of two types: saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid. In Saturated fatty acid, double bond is absent, whereas unsaturated fatty acid consists of one or more than one double bond. The melting point of a fatty acid indirectly depends upon the number of double bond present in an acid. Higher is the number of double bonds in an acid, lower will be the melting point of that acid.

The first double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid is typically found:
A) between the C9 and C10 positions
B) conjugated to the carbonyl
C) in the trans configuration
D) at the omega position
E) in palmitic acid
As we saw in Section 4.15, oleic acid has one C=C double bond that is in the cis configuration. Elaidic acid is identical to oleic acid, but the C=C is in the trans configuration. Which fatty acid has the higher melting point? Explain.
How would you expect the melting point of eicosapentaenoic acid[CH3CH2(CH=CHCH2)5(CH2)2COOH] to compare with the melting points of the fatty acids listed in attached file
