Question
Chapter 19, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The following fatty acids should be arranged in increasing melting point:
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acid which may or may not have unsaturation in the molecule. They react with glycerol to form triglyceride. The reaction is known as esterification as carboxylic acid group react with alcoholic group to form ester group.
Unsaturated fatty acids can be defined as the long chain fatty acids which have long hydrocarbon chain with −COOH group. In unsaturated fatty acids, the carbon chain must have at least one double bond.

The melting points of oleic acid, C18:1 delta 9 cis, versus elaidic acid, C18:1 delta 9 trans, are 16.3 degrees Celsius and 44.8 degrees Celsius respectively. What do the data imply about the two fatty acids?
Draw 2 fatty acids and a triglyceride. C5H1002 saturated C5H802 unsaturated C5H10O2
True or false? Unsaturated fats can be converted to saturated fats by reacting them with high-pressure hydrogen gas.
