A fat containing two or more carbon double bonds that is liquid at room temperature?
Butter. Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Are carboxyl acids fatty acids?
"Fatty Acids" take on two 'forms' - 'fats' are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature whereas 'oils' are from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature.
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
What are the differences between the structures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
The chemical structure of a saturated fat is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are found foods such as nuts, avocados, and olives. They are liquid at room temperature and differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure contains double bonds.
Do unsaturated fatty acids have low melting point than suturated?
The double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids restrict movement. They are more "kinked" up and do not pack as tightly (think of crumpled/wadded up paper balls vs flat sheets of paper. the balls have a much larger volume per sheet, whereas the individual flat sheets stack together very nicely. ditto for unsaturated vs saturated fats). Saturated fatty acids have more freedom of movement and tend to pack together more. Ergo, unsaturated fats are generally liquid at room temp while saturated fats aren't, so yes, they do have a lower melting temp.
What physical property is common to almost all unsaturated fatty acids?
exist as liquid (oils) at room temperature.
Fatty acids with double bonds between carbons are described to be?
Fatty acids with double bonds between some of their carbons are referred to as unsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids tend be remain in liquid form at room temperature.
Foods consisting mostly of fatty acids with only single bonds tend to be what at room temperature?
liquid at room temperature.
A fat containing two or more carbon double bonds that is liquid at room temperature?
Butter. Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Are carboxyl acids fatty acids?
"Fatty Acids" take on two 'forms' - 'fats' are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature whereas 'oils' are from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature.
Why is beef fat a solid at room temperature?
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
What type of fatty acids dose butter contain and how do you know?
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
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.
Are fats acidic?
"Fatty Acids" take on two 'forms' - 'fats' are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature whereas 'oils' are from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature.

Fatty acids with room for four or more hydrogen atoms?
A monounsaturated fatty acid or MUFA
What is a complex nutrient composed of fatty acids and glycerol?
The Glycerol molecule has room for three fatty acids to attach - ergo Tri-Acyl-Glycerides.
