Question
Chapter 12, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the oleic acid to have alower melting point related to stearic acid needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The oleic acid has a low melting point because fatty acid in the oleic acid is not stronger than the intermolecular forces. The melting pointof saturated fatty acid addition with increasing molecular weight.

- Test for Monosaccharides: Clinistix Carbohydrate molecules range from the very simple to the very complex. The word “saccharide” means sugar, while the prefixes “mono”, “di” and “poly” categorize carbohydrates according to how many simple sugar molecules are joined together to form the carbohydrate. To test for the presence of monosaccharide, we will be using Clinistix (a product that is used to test for the presence of glucose in urine). See the label (in video) for details. These test strips are used by dipping the colored end into the solution, then comparing the color to the chart on the bottle. The positive color(s) is/are __________________________. The negative color is ________________. Test for Starch (a Polysaccharide): Povidone Iodide Test Plant cells manufacture glucose molecules during photosynthesis and store them in large starch molecules. Because starch is a long chain of many glucose units all joined together, it is a polysaccharide.

The electric charge on the functional group is determined by the relationship between its pKa and the pH of the solution. This relationship is described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. 1.Histidine has three ionizable functional groups. Write the equilibrium equations for its three ion-izationsand assign the proper pKa for each ionization. Draw the structure of histidine in each ionization state.What is the net charge on the histidine molecule in each ionization state? 2.Which structure drawn in (1) corresponds to theionization state of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and12?Note that the ionization state can be approximated by treating each ionizable group independently. 3.What is the net charge of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and 12? For each pH, will histidine migrate to-ward the anode (+) or cathode (-) when placed in an electric field?arrow_forward1. Fatty acids are a component of fats but have a distinct chemical difference apart from fats that would allow them to travel fairly freely in the aqueous environment of the bloodstream. They don’t, however, and are transported with serum albumin. What about the chemistry of fatty acids makes it so that it might not be good to have a lot of them traveling freely in the bloodstream?arrow_forward
- Fehling's Test: Some sources say that Fehling's test will be positive only for Aldoses not for ketose. But since Fehlings is a test for reducing sugars, Monosaccharide Ketose (and some disaccharide ketose) should test positive as well right? How about Ribose, based on our experimental result, it was negative. But theoretically, it should test positive right? Kindly explain the theoretical reaction of Ribose to Fehling's reagent.arrow_forward1. Melting point: what happens when the carbon chain length of fatty acids become shorter? increased melting point decrease melting point no change 2. Why do lipids with long chain fatty acids have lower saponification value? they are linear in structure, thus it is difficult to saponify they have lower number of carboxyl group per 1 gram of sample they require less amount of KOH during titration they require less HCL during back titration 3. Halogenation depends on which concept? presence of double bond in the glycerol portion presence of double bond in the fatty acid portion presence of carboxylic acid groups reactivity of potassium ionsarrow_forwardDraw a peptide that includes Phenylalanine, Cysteine, Tyrosine and Tryptophan.
