What else can I help you with?
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.
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
How does the saturation level of a fatty acid compare to that of an unsaturated fatty acid and a trans fatty acid?
The saturation level of a fatty acid refers to the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain. A saturated fatty acid has all available carbon bonds filled with hydrogen atoms, making it solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, making them liquid at room temperature. Trans fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid with a specific arrangement of double bonds that can increase the saturation level, making them behave more like saturated fats.
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.
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.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
What does a fatty cyst look like?
Fatty cyst
What type of fatty acid is a propanoic acid?
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.
What three fatty acids form triglyceride?
A triglyceride is formed from three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule. The three fatty acids can vary in type, but commonly include saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid, monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acids like linoleic acid. These fatty acids are esterified to the glycerol backbone, resulting in the formation of triglycerides, which serve as a major form of energy storage in the body.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What does unsaturated fatty acid look like?
It looks like an oil, somewhat like olive oil does. Adding hydrogen saturates the carbon to carbon bonds making it a solid.
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.
A(n) fatty acid is the building block of fats?
fatty acid is the answer
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 maltose a simple fatty acid?
Maltose is a sugar or carbohydrate and not a fatty acid (carboxylic acid)
