Which of the following fatty acids are saturated and which are unsaturated? a. linoleic acid b. palmitic acid c. myristic acid d. oleic acid
Grigoriy S.
Oleic acid and $\alpha$ -linolenic acid (Table 20.4 ) are both unsaturated fats and are liquids at room temperature. They can be converted into solid saturated fats by hydrogenation. a. Which would consume more hydrogen: $1.0 \mathrm{kg}$ of oleic acid or $0.50 \mathrm{kg}$ of $\alpha$ -linolenic acid? b. Could you distinguish between the two fatty acids by determining the identity of their hydrogenation products? Explain your answer.
For each of the following fatty acids, give the shorthand notation for the number of carbon atoms and double bonds, and classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated: a. linoleic acid b. palmitic acid c. myristic acid d. oleic acid
