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.
A monounsaturated fat
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

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.

No one fatty acid is volatile.
fatty acid is the answer
The balanced equation for the reaction between a fatty acid (such as oleic acid) and sodium hydroxide is: Fatty acid + Sodium hydroxide -> Soap (sodium salt of the fatty acid) + Water
it is a fatty
