Room temperature is usually defined as either 20 or 25 degrees Celcius, 293 or 298 Kelvin.
Room temperature is the same for any compound... unsaturated fatty acids' room temp is the same for any other compound. The state of matter at room temperature for unsaturated fatty acids is liquid, which is what I think you wanted to know. A good example of unsat. fat is vegetable oil. It is a liquid at room temperature because the unsaturation, or double bonds found throughout each molecule's "tail" structure, cause kinks in the tail that prevent the molecules from lining up tightly against each other. In saturated fats, the tails are relatively straight lines, and can therefore pack closer together, forming a solid at room temperature (a good example of this is beef fat).

What temp is room temp?
room temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit
Is 90 degrees Fahrenheit room temp?
No that's pretty hot. Room temp for Fahrenheit is about 70 degrees
What is good water temperature for hydroponic systems?
Room temp.
What temp is room temperature?
25 degree Celsius, or 298 kelvin
How does a graph show a saturated solution and a unsaturated solution?
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
What is the description of an unsaturated lipid?
The description of an unsaturated lipid is that it is a type of fat that is found naturally in plant products such as nuts or seeds. Unsaturated lipids are liquid at room temperature.
What type of lipid is liquid at room temperature?
Unsaturated fats tend to be oils at room temperature.
Can fats be oil at room temperature?
No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
What are plant fats?
Unsaturated fats (fats that are liquid at room temp)
Are unsaturated fats usually solid at room temp whereas saturated fats are usually liquid?
No! the other way around. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temp whereas saturated fats are solid!
Is earwax an unsaturated fat?
Any grease or fat that can harden at room temp is saturated .
What type of bond are contained in an unsaturated lipid?
Double
What is the Difference between saturated and unsaturated lipid?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
How do you know if a lipid is saturated?
To be a saturated fat, the lipid has no double bonds. If it has at least one double bond, the lipid is an unsaturated fat.
Lipids that are solid at room temperature are known as?
If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure). If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature. Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc.
What is unsaturated lipid?
An unsaturated lipid is a type of fat where there is a minimum of one double bond inside the fatty acid chain. The fatty acid chain may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.
What is a unsaturated lipid?
An unsaturated lipid is a fat in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. Two kinds of fatty acid chains are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.
