Generally not, but some lower (short chained) are at least slightly soluble.
Added:
The only soluble fatty acid is acetic acid, butyric acid is slightly soluble, the other quite insoluble. However in alkaline solution they all are solble (as saltic anion, acetate to stearate, soap)
What else can I help you with?
Why are fatty acids not excreted in urine?
Fatty acids are converted into acetyl-CoA through beta-oxidation in the liver before being further metabolized to produce energy. Since they are broken down and utilized for energy production, fatty acids are not typically excreted in urine. Instead, any excess fatty acids are stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue for later use.
Are fatty acids fats and oils water soluble?
Fatty acids are hydrophobic molecules and are insoluble in water. However, they can be incorporated into larger structures like triglycerides or phospholipids that can be both water-soluble and insoluble. Oils, which are liquid fats, tend to contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, making them more fluid at room temperature compared to solid fats.
How do you separate amino acids from fatty acids?
One common method to separate amino acids from fatty acids is through chromatography. Amino acids are more polar and can be separated based on their different affinities for the stationary phase, while fatty acids can be eluted separately due to their differing solubilities. Another method could involve precipitation using different solvents where amino acids and fatty acids can be separated based on their solubilities in the respective solvents.
Small nonpolar hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids?
Small nonpolar hydrophobic molecules like fatty acids are not soluble in water due to their lack of charge and polarity. They tend to aggregate together and remain separate from water molecules. When fatty acids are introduced to water, they form lipid bilayers or micelles to minimize their contact with water and maximize their interactions with each other.
What is the pH of fatty acids?
The pH of fatty acids is between 7-14 because it is a base.

Which chamical is used to make soap?
Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. It's made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.
Why are fatty acids -or oils or fats - not soluble in water?
They are non-polar and therefore don't dissolve well in polar solvents (like water).
Are the End products of digestion soluble in water?
Most, but not all, end products of digestion are soluble in water. Lipids, such as (for example) the popular omega 3 fatty acids, are not soluble in water, but they still get digested with the help of bile that is secreted by the pancreas.

What does your digestive system add to your blood?
soluble end of products such as glucose , amino acids and fatty acids and glycerol
Is lard soluble in water?
Yes Lard is saturated as when reacted with potassium permanganate two layers are formed resulting in no reaction which clarifies the statement that lard is saturated.
What are special properties of lipids?
1) they are fat-soluble 2) they are created from fatty acids
What happens to a cell if the fatty acids in the cell membrane became soluble water?
it would cause the cell to lose all of its contents to the outside-APEX
