The process by which fat became solid at room temperature is called?

Fats are made up of long chains of carbon with hydogen Adams attached to the sides. The more hydrogen there is the straighter the molecules are and the more molecules that will fit in a given area and therefore making the fat more dense and solid. This is where the term "Saturated Fat" comes from because the molecule is "Staturated" with hydrogen. Unsaturated fats have less hydrogen which makes the molecule bend and curl so that they don't fit close together and that makes the fat less dense and stay liquid at lower temperatures.

∙ 10y agoThe only possible way is by converting the oil (liquid lipid) into fat (solid lipid) by putting the oil under pressure with a catalyst then bubbling in hydrogen.

When temperature is decreased on a gas and it becomes a solid without a liquid stage this is called?
Deposition. The reverse process (going from a solid directly to a gas) is called sublimation.
What element will change phase directly from solid to a gas at room temperature?
Iodine. Also, the process is called sublimation (phase change from solid --> gas)
Why do mothballs disappear at room temperature?
This process is called Sublimination which means a solid state changes to a gaseous state.
What is Freezing from liqiud to solid called?
Solidification is the process of freezing of the substance from liquid form into the solid form as the heat goes out of the substance ie as the temperature decreases.
What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid called is there a gain or a loss of energy?
Such a temperature is known as Freezing point of the liquid, during the freezing process the system losses the energy.
Why rocks change from solid to liquid when they get very hot?
The process is called "melting". It is a characteristic process observed in virtually all substances, though at a different temperature for each.
Is liquid to solid exothermic?
No. Going from solid to liquid at constant temperature is an endothermic process. The required amount of energy is called "heat of fusion" of the material that changes state.
What is the exact name in which process the solid became a gaseous?
sublimation
What is the process called when gas turn to solid directly?
The process is called deposition, where gas transforms directly into a solid without going through the liquid phase. This occurs when the temperature of the gas is lowered below its sublimation point, causing the particles to lose enough energy to form a solid state.
What is a solid becoming a liquid?
The process ofa liquid being converted into a solid is called freezing.
Solid to gas with no liquid state is called?
It is slow vapourization process. This process is called evaporation.
When a substance changes from liquid to a solid it is called?
LIQUDIFCATION!!!!!!!! Change of phase; the process is called melting.
