It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid 18 carbons long. Stearoyl CoA is a molecule of stearic acid bound to the molecule coenzyme A (CoA), which occurs during the metabolism of stearic acid to release energy, so they are not the same thing.
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
because it is a monounsaturated fatty acid... it has one double bond between carbons 9 and 10.

Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has 3 double bonds. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has one double bond.

Natural fatty acids contain 10 and onwards even no of carbon atoms.
alpha-linoleic acid.
