Is Fatty acids soluble in water?
Generally not, but some lower (short chained) are at least slightly soluble.Added:The only soluble fatty acid is acetic acid, butyric acid is slightly soluble, the other quite insoluble. However in alkaline solution they all are solble (as saltic anion, acetate to stearate, soap)
What is the difference between fatty acids and fats?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.
What is the structure of simple fats?
Lipids consist of numerous fatlike chemical compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Lipid compounds include monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phosphatides, cerebrosides, sterols, terpenes, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids. Dietary fats supply energy, carry fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and are a source of antioxidants and bioactive compounds. Fats are also incorporated as structural components of the brain and cell membranes.
What molecules are fats comprised of?
Fats are comprised of molecules called triglycerides, which consist of three fatty acid molecules linked to a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids can vary in length and saturation, giving rise to different types of fats such as saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats.
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.
Why are fatty acids -or oils or fats - not soluble in water?
They are non-polar and therefore don't dissolve well in polar solvents (like water).
Which chamical is used to make soap?
Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. It's made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.

A vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues of the body?
Fat soluble vitamin is a vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues of the body. Unlike water soluble vitamins that require regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slower than water soluble vitamins.
Is lard soluble in water?
Yes Lard is saturated as when reacted with potassium permanganate two layers are formed resulting in no reaction which clarifies the statement that lard is saturated.
What makes up animal fats?
Fats are esters of fatty acids. they are made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
A vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues in the body?
Fat soluble vitamin is a vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues of the body. Unlike water soluble vitamins that require regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slower than water soluble vitamins.
Which group of fats are absorbed pass through the intestinal cells and diffuse into capillaries and thus directly into the blood stream?
Water-soluble glycerol and short and medium chain fatty acids.
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
Fats change to?
fatty acids
What is the checmical formula for the lipid?
Lipids are the chemical names of fats or molecules that are called fat soluble (dissolve in fat). They are called fatty acids and include fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterolscertain, fat soluble vitamins like A, D and E monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others. Carboxylic acids and salts are detergents. The way they behave in water allows them to bond with other fatty acids such as food residue and are carried away in water. There are thousands of lipid formulas that are involved in the chemical calculations for the different types of lipids.
