What type of reaction is used to convert oil to a saturated fat?

Oil (vegetable oil usually) is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to form saturated fat (normally a solid at room temp)


How do you do decrease the percentage of unsaturated fat in olive oil?

The process of hydrogenation, which is quite simple (it involves letting hydrogen gas bubble through the oil) will cause the unsaturated fat to become saturated. This will make the oil less nutritious but easier to store.


Does Sodium and water to produce fire?

*sodium metal ignites upon exposure to water Because sodium floats on water so it can stay burning, to put out a sodium or oil fire it has to be deprived of air (Powder or covering with fire proof blanket etc.)


Why is sodium used in oil?

Sodium is not typically used in oil. However, sodium can react with oil to form soaps, which act as emulsifiers. This can be useful in certain industrial processes, such as in the production of detergents or in oil drilling to help with the removal of solids, but it is not a common practice to use sodium in oil for everyday cooking or food purposes.


What is the reaction of saponification by using ordinary fat?

Saponification is the process of making soap from fats and a strong alkali like sodium hydroxide. When ordinary fat (such as olive oil or coconut oil) is mixed with sodium hydroxide, it undergoes a chemical reaction called saponification, forming soap and glycerin as products. This reaction is commonly used in soap-making industries.

Why do sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil do not burn?

Sodium reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen gas and forming sodium hydroxide. When sodium is kept immersed in kerosene oil, it is isolated from water, preventing the reaction from occurring. Kerosene oil acts as a barrier to keep oxygen away from the sodium, further preventing combustion.


How do manufactrers make trans fat?

The bubble hydrogen gas through oil in the presence of a catalyst.


Which fats result when manufacture add hydrogen to fat molecules in vegetables oil?

trans fats


Why sodium metal not ordinarily reacted in the laboratory even with a dilute acid?

The reaction of sodium with dilute acid and even pure water is violent. The reaction produces hydrogen gas, which ignites and in turn ignites the sodium. In some cases the sodium can explode, sending droplets of burning, molten sodium into the air.


What is more heathful fat hydrogenated fat unsaturated fat saturated fat or trans fat?

Hydrogenated fats actually are vegetable oil blasted with hydrogen, so these fats are behave like saturated fats. This hydrogen makes the fat harder so it's not at all healthy. Saturated fats haven't any carbon-carbon double bonds, in other words it fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen gas pumped through the mixture at high pressure, and then the excited hydrogen atoms penetrate the vegetable oil molecules and change them into trans-fats. So it is always recommended to consume unsaturated fats instead of other fats.


How do manufacturers make fats?

Hydrogenated fats are created when an oil that is largely unsaturated, such as corn oil, has hydrogen added to it, causing fat to become more solid at room temperature. The answer is they add hydrogen to unsaturated fats.


How do manufacturers trans fats?

Hydrogenated fats are created when an oil that is largely unsaturated, such as corn oil, has hydrogen added to it, causing fat to become more solid at room temperature. The answer is they add hydrogen to unsaturated fats.
