Yes because of the long straight chain
Stearidonic acid is multi UNsaturated: (all cis)6,9,12,15-octadeca-tetra-en-oic acid, C18H28O2Stearic acid is fully saturated: octadec-an-oic acid, C18H36O2
Stearic Acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Stearate (soap) + Water. C18H36OOH + NaOH = C18H36OONa + H2O
Fats, oils, and waxes are known as lipids in biology.
The difference is its chemical formula, though both are saturated linear aliphatic carbonic acids:Lauric acid is dodecanoic acid: C12H24O2Stearic acid is octadecanoic acid: C18H36O2
A monounsaturated fat
Shea butter is primarily composed of triglycerides, which are esters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. While it doesn't have a specific chemical formula like a pure compound, its composition includes various fatty acids such as oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid. The general structure can be represented as a mixture of C15H30O2, C18H36O2, and C18H34O2, reflecting its complex mixture of fatty acids.

No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.

Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.

A monounsaturated fat
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
This is the reaction between propylene glycol )(C3H8O2 ) & Stearic acid (C18H36O2 ) in presence of acidic catalyst & reaction is known as esterification. C3H8O2 + C18H36O2 = C21H42O3 + H2O
No one fatty acid is volatile.
fatty acid is the answer
