Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.5E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The labeled structure of a typical saturated fatty acid is to be drawn. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic part of the fatty acid is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of two substances dependents on the “like dissolves like” principle that means polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents. The water-soluble compounds are hydrophilic and water-insoluble compounds are hydrophobic.
Expert Solution & Answer

Check out a sample textbook solutionStudents have asked these similar questions
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids that have long hydrocarbon chains attached to a carboxylate group. How does a saturated fatty acid differ from an unsaturated fatty acid? How are they similar?
fatty acid naming 1
A fatty acid contains 18 carbon atoms and has two double bonds. The first is between
carbons 3 and 4 and a double bond is between carbons 7 and 8, both measured from the end
of the hydrophobic chain (away from the carboxylic acid end). What do we call this type of
fatty acid?
