Which part of a fatty acid is hydrophobic?
the tail ( carbon hydrogen only part) the COOH part that makes it an acid does engage in hydrogen bonding.
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.
The carbon chain that makes up part of a lipid is called a?
The carbon chain that makes up part of a lipid is called a fatty acid. A fatty acid chain is a chain of carbon-hydrogen bonds in which there is an even number of carbon molecules.
Is cream of tartar an acid?
yes, that is why it makes you a fatty!
What makes fatty acid an acid?
It has a carboxyl group that donates an H+ to a solution
How do stitches dissolve?
They are coated with a type of fatty acid which when it becomes wet, causes it to dissolve. Since the tissues are moist, the fatty acid makes the suture dissolve.
Which part of a fatty acid is hydrophobic?
the tail ( carbon hydrogen only part) the COOH part that makes it an acid does engage in hydrogen bonding.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
What fatty acid is found in coconut oil?
Coconut oil is predominantly composed of medium-chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which makes up about 47% of its fatty acid content. Lauric acid is notable for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. In addition to lauric acid, coconut oil also contains other medium-chain fatty acids like caprylic and capric acid, which contribute to its health benefits.
What type of bond makes a saturated fat into an unsaturated fat?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain.Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain and are thus fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.(Wikipedia)
What type of fatty acid is a propanoic acid?
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.
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.
