Step 1
Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium, or platinum. This process is often used to convert unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding Show more…

Which of the following statements about fatty acids is FALSE? A. Trans fatty acids have hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the double bond. B. Trans fatty acids are a healthy alternative to cis fatty acids. C. During the hydrogenation process, some double bonds present in unsaturated fatty acids switch from a cis conformation to a trans conformation. D. Hydrogenation adds hydrogen to unsaturated fats, reducing the number of double bonds and increasing the melting point. E. Cis fatty acids have both hydrogen atoms on the same side of the double bond.
