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.

Suggest a reason that linoleic acid is classified as a polyunsaturated fatty acid and oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated fatty acid?
Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has 3 double bonds. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has one double bond.
What are Unsaturated Hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbon is the name of a type of organic molecule in organic chemistry, that contains a chain of carbons. "Unsaturated" refers to the fact that each of the carbons bonds aren't with 4 separate molecules, but can, instead have double or triple bonds.A hydrocarbon in which valencies of carbon are not satisfied by single covalent bonds are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
What would a carboxylic acid with 6 carbons in a straight chain be called?
When chemists name compounds, we look at the length of the parent chain (in this case, 6 carbons.) and the functional group(s) (in this case, carboxylic acid). A regular 6C (all single bonds) hydrocarbon is termed "hexane" , the prefix "hex-" denoting the 6 carbons. When naming a compound with the carboxylic acid functional group, we add the suffix "-oic acid". Thus, a 6C carboxylic acid is hexanoic acid
What is the name of a saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with 2 carbons?

What would be the trans isomer of 9-tricosine?
If you're asking about an ALKENE ( a carbon chain with a double bond) a TRANS (E) Isomer of 9-tricosENE (23 carbons) would be a straight chain with a double bond between carbon #9 and 10.The CIS (Z) configuration would have the molecule bent to form a "U" with the bootom of the U being the 9 to 10 double bond. This makes the high priority carbons end up of the same (cis) side of the double bond.
What is the name of the process which long chain carbons are coverted into short chain carbons?
reduction

Is 3-heptene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
The name of 3-heptene gives it away, for alkenes end in -ene. Heptene is a carbon chain of 7 carbons, and alkenes have a double bond between carbons at the noted carbon (3), so this double bond is between C3 and C4, and the chain is otherwise completely hydrogenated. You might write the structure as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH3

What makes carbon chain unsaturated?
if it contains double or triple bond
What is the term for polyunsaturated fatty acid in which the endmost double bond is three carbons back from the end of the carbon chain?
omega-three fatty acids
How would you distinguish between pent-1-ene and pent-2-yne?
1-pentene is an alkene with a carbon chain of length five. It has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. 2-pentyne is an alkyne with a carbon chain of length five. It has a triple bond between carbons 2 and 3.
How many carbons do long-chain fatty acids contain?
The long chain fatty acids generally contain between four and six carbons. This is why they generally have high boiling points.

What are the different hydrocarbons called with different numbers of carbons?
First of all the basic different hydrocarbons are Alkanes, Alkenes , & Alkynes. Their names end in '-ane', '-ene' and 'yne', respectively. There are more complex hydrocarbons, such as Benzene(Phenyl) & 'Cyclo-', but for the moment I'll omit these. Next the number of carbons in the chain gives the basic name. Meth = 1 carbon Eth = 2 carbons Prop = 3 carbons Buta = 4 carbons Penta = 5 carbons Hexa = 6 carbons Hepta = 7 carbons Octa = 8 carbons Nons = 9 carbons Deca = 10 carbons So a hydrocarbon , with single bonds, and with two carbons is Ethane A hydrocarbons, with one double bond and three carbons is Propene A hydrocarbon, with one triple bond and four carbons is either But-1-yne or But-2-yne , depending on which carbon in the chain the the double/triple bond starts at. Petroleum/Gassoline is Octane. Benzene is a 6 carbon cyclic ring, with ,???three double bonds,. This a unique arrangement. Other cyclic hydrocarbons are ;- Cyclohexane , Cyclohexene. and Cyclohex-1,3-diene. There are many more. Hopefully that gives a little insight in to the nomenclature (naming system) of hydrocarbons; The IUPAC authority have designed the nomenclature so that the name gives all the elements, structure and position of the atoms in organic compounds.
