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
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 has more than one double bond in its carbon chain, making it polyunsaturated. Oleic acid has only one double bond, making it monounsaturated. The number of double bonds determines the classification of the fatty acid.
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 is it called when one or more of the bonds between the carbons of a hydrocarbon are double bonds and it is missing two or more hydrogen atoms?
It is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon. The presence of double bonds between carbons results in fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain, making it unsaturated.

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
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.
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."
