Is stearic acid an element or compound?
Stearic acid is a compound. It is a saturated fatty acid composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What is the balanced equation for fatty acid and sodium hydroxide?
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
Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?
Yes, a sodium fatty acid salt is a type of carboxylic acid salt. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains, and when they react with a base like sodium hydroxide, they form carboxylic acid salts such as sodium fatty acid salts.
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
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.
How do the number of hydrogen atoms compared to the number oxygen atoms in each fatty acid?
Bec in each fatty acid the o has a bond with h I think?!
What pattern does appear in the fatty acid molecules regarding the number of oxygen atoms?
Fatty acid molecules typically contain an even number of carbon atoms and are often saturated (no double bonds) or unsaturated (one or more double bonds). The number of oxygen atoms is consistent across fatty acid molecules as they usually contain one carboxyl group (COOH) at one end of the hydrocarbon chain.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
What three elements make a fatty acid?
what elements are present in all fatty acids
How do the number of hydrogen atoms compare to the number of oxygen in each fatty acids?
Bec in each fatty acid the o has a bond with h I think?!
What type of fatty acid is a propanoic acid?
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.
Is stearic acid an element or compound?
Stearic acid is a compound. It is a saturated fatty acid composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
