It would be a saturated fat.
The number of hydrogens would influence the 'R' group, which determines the fatty acid, because the 'R' group is a hydrocarbon chain, but I am not sure which is the exact fatty acid in this example.
Stearic Acid has the formula C17 H35 COOH
Which means that it contains 35 H atoms in the 'R' group.
Not sure if this is useful at all ! But worth a try.

A saturated fatty has has more or less hydrogen?
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
What is fatty substance found in all animal tissue?
cholesterol
Hydrogen bonds hold the hydrogen atoms together in a hydrogen molecule?
Non polar bond between the two hydrogen atoms.
What hold the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom?
In a water molecule the hydrogen atoms are held to the oxygen atom by covalent chemical bonds.
Does covalent hold hydrogen and fluorine atoms together?
Polar covalent bond.
What holds the atoms molecule together?
Bonds hold atoms together. There are hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds.
What is the difference between a saturated and ' unsaturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
What are the two molecules that hold onto the electrons of hydrogen until the third step of cellular respiration?
six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms i believe
What is a lipid composed of?
Without simplification, lipids are composed of One acid head and One hydrocarbon tail. Lipids are found in two main classes: Oils are from Plant sources and are liquid at room temperature [dog-legged unsaturated lipids - they stack like broken toothpicks] while Fats are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature [straight chained saturated lipids - they stack easily and solidly like straight toothpicks]. With Elemental simplification; Carbon and Oxygen are in the Acid, with Carbon and Hydrogen [and the occasional C=C double unsaturated double bond or two] are in the Tail. Tail monomers are -CH2- there may be anywhere from 13 of these monomers up to 28 of them!
What type of bonds hold separate water molecules together?
Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules to each other. They're the strongest of the Van der Waal's forces.
What type of bonds hold one molecule of water to another molecule of water?
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom(<-wikipedia). Hence, in a water molecule the positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to the negative oxygen atoms. Just know that the hydrogen bond mentioned above is not a chemical bond. If it were, it wouldn't be water anymore. Another force between water molecules are London Dispersion Forces.
Is sulfuric acid a strong acid?
Yes, it is extremely strong. It is a very corrosive acid and is a 1 or so on the pH scale which is very acidic. I have tested and concentrated sulfuric acid melted through a rag folded twice. - - - - - Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, but an acid being strong or weak doesn't refer to its corrosiveness. A strong acid completely dissociates when you put it in water--all the hydrogen atoms break away from the SO4 group in the molecule. Sulfuric acid does this. A weak acid is one where some of the hydrogen atoms remain attached to their partnered atoms. One strange one is hydrofluoric acid--HF. It is a weak acid because fluorine really loves to hold onto hydrogen atoms, but it is an extremely corrosive, hard to handle and hazardous acid that will eat glass, almost all metals, and most plastics. They have to ship it in teflon bottles, it's that bad. Oh, and if you spill it onto a 25-square-inch piece of your skin, the HF will soak through your skin, pull all the calcium out of your blood and kill you, unless you immediately get treated. (The treatment consists of rubbing a gel containing calcium gluconate into your skin over the site of the burn. By giving the HF enough calcium to react completely out, you can keep from dying--however, you've still got to deal with the huge hole it will make in you.)
