What does a fatty acid look like?
Fatty acid is a generic term that covers (theoretically) an infinite number of different chemical compounds. For a start, there are saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Cooking oils, like olive oil, are mixtures of fatty acids, as are magarine, lard and candle wax.
Compounds is missing 4 or more hydrogen atoms?
They are called Saturated fat. They are saturated because they contain the maximum number of hydrogen that they can. On the other hand, if a fatty doesn't have that number of hydrogen, it will be unsaturated. Saturated fats are mainly found in animal, butter made out of cow's milk is made of saturated fats, while unsaturated fats comes from plants, like olive oil.
Does acid give soap its useful properties?
That depends on the acid and its concentration, and temperature. It is likely to dissolve in the water of any dilute acids anyway. Soaps are Na or K salts of fatty acids. Mixed with an acid, depending on dissociation constants, solubilities etc., you may form a metal salt of the free acid and reform the fatty acid. The huge majority of fatty acids in soaps are water immiscible, but with soap present they could disperse.
What are some examples of unsaturated fats?
Polyunsaturated fats are those that are liquid at room temperature. These are found in safflower, sesame, corn, cottonseed and soybean oils. This type of fat has also been shown to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, but too much can also lower your HDL cholesterol.
