A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.

Does the process of rendering convert liquid fat into a semi-solid?

Yes, rendering involves heating and straining animal fat to separate the solid components from the liquid ones. The liquid fat is then cooled, causing it to solidify and become semi-solid at room temperature.


How does the density of a body and that of a liquid determine that whether the body will float or sink into that liquid?

If the density of the solid body is greater than the density of the liquid the bodywill sink. If the density of the liquid is greater than the density of the solid thebody will float.If the solid and the liquid have the same density, the solid body can be any whereinside the liquid and may move following currents if they exist in the liquid.Read more:How_does_the_density_of_a_body_and_that_of_a_liquid_determine_that_whether_the_body_will_float_or_sink_into_that_liquid


Is fat melting a chemical reaction?

No. Changes in phase (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc) are physical changes, not chemical ones. If you raise the temperature of solid fat and it liquefies, that's melting so it's a physical change. Atoms do not get rearranged within the molecules of fat. But... When somebody loses weight we slangily say their fat "melted away" when in reality it undergoes a chemical reaction inside the body in order to break down and disappear.


What is the difference between solid and liquid fat?

Solid fats are typically saturated fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter or coconut oil. Liquid fats are usually unsaturated fats that are liquid at room temperature, like olive oil or vegetable oil. Solid fats tend to be more stable for cooking, while liquid fats are healthier options due to their lower saturated fat content.

Is Fat content greater in solid or liquid?

If you're speaking about if there is more solid fat or liquid fat, it is pretty much all solid.


How does liquid fat become solid?

Liquid fat becomes solid through a process called solidification or crystallization. When liquid fat is cooled down, the molecules within it slow down and arrange themselves into a more orderly structure, forming a solid. The formation of a solid structure gives fat a solid state at lower temperatures.

Is unsaturated fat solid or liquid at room temperature?

Unsaturated fat is typically liquid at room temperature.

Is a squid a liquid or a solid?

A squid is a solid because it has flesh. But it can also be a liquid because of the ink that comes out from its body.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it is possible that the body will change from what to what?

As the molecules in a body move with increased speed, i.e. increasing kinetic energy, it is possible that the body will change from the solid phase to the liquid phase, or the liquid phase to the gas phase, and in some cases from the solid directly to the gas phase.
