What does partially hydrogenated peanut butter oil do?

Some oils have unsaturated double bonds in their carbon chain; that is, these carbons aren't holding the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms they can. Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen atoms to these carbons so that they are at maximum capacity, or "saturation."


Manufacturers make vegetable oils solid or semisolid at room temperature by?

The process called "hydrogenation" adds chemical bonds within the oil to decrease the number of double carbon bonds, changing the fat from unsaturated (fewer hydrogen bonds) to saturated (more hydrogen bonds).Saturated fats tend to be solids.

A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?

A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.


What is removed in oxidation?

Oxidation is the process of adding oxygen or taking away hydrogen.


What does unsaturated fatty acid look like?

It looks like an oil, somewhat like olive oil does. Adding hydrogen saturates the carbon to carbon bonds making it a solid.


What does adding hydrogen to liquid unsaturated fats do?

To solidify them by adding hydrogens which straighten out the double bonded carbons from their kinking so that the pack well and solidly. ( butter, for instance )


How does saturated fat effect iodine atoms?

unsaturated are oils that have double bonds in their structure because there is not enough hydrogen atoms to bond with the carbon atoms. In such case, carbon atoms bond to each others to form double or triple bonds. adding iodine, saturates the oil as iodine atoms bond to carbon atoms as if they were hydrogen atoms. This is an answer to the question that should read: How does iodine affect unsaturated fats?


Is adding sodium to water a chemical change?

Yea it is a chemical change. The Sodium reacts with water in a chemical reaction in which the sodium displaces the hydrogen in the water, creating sodium oxide and hydrogen gas. The heat from the reaction ignites the hydrogen, which creates the explosion.


A saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with two carbons is?

Saturated hydrocarbon means that it does not have triple or double bonds between carbon atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon will have triple or double, or both types of bonds between carbons. You can saturate the unsaturated hydrocarbon by adding hydrogen atoms through a given reaction. -CH=CH- + H2 -----> -CH2-CH2- Saturation does not have to be with hydrogen, it can be with chlorine, Cl2, for example.


What test is used to show that ethene is unsaturated?

by adding bromine water to the compound. if it is unsaturated, the red colour of the bromine water will fade quickly. if it is saturated, then it will not fade.


What does dilution mean in chemistry?

It is a process in which Hydrogen <h2> concentration is reduced by adding H2O. Dilution is exothermic reaction as it produce heat.
