Concept explainers
Linolenic acid(Table 10.2) and stearidonic acid are omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids that contain the first double bond located at C3, when numbering begins at the methyl end of the chain. Predict how the melting point of stearidonic acid compares with the melting points of linolenic acid and stearic acids. A current avenue of research is examining the use of soybean oil enriched in stearidonic acid as a healthier alternative to vegetable oils that contain fewer degrees of unsaturation.

The mendelic acid "chemical face peel" is a relatively new innovation for the rejuvenation of problem skin. In addition to removing dead skin cells, its antibacterial properties help acne-prone skin. The technique has also been touted as a way to improve hyperpigmentation due to post acne scarring. Although the compound was first derived from bitter almonds, mendelic acid is generally now synthesized in the laboratory. To formulate one of these "face peel" emulsions, you are asked to prepare as much pH = 3.543 buffer solution as you can from 100.00 mL of 0.5000 M mendelic acid (HMend). Since the use of mendelic acid is relatively new, the conjugate base mendolate (Mend) cannot be purchased. Fortunately, you have plenty of 0.4018 M NaOH. Ka = 3.894x 10-4 for mendelic acid. How would you prepare the buffer solution? The following questions will guide you to find the final answer. A B. C.
