Question
Chapter 10, Problem 44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The melting point of elaidic acid is to be compared with the melting points of stearic and oleic acids.
Concept introduction: Fatty acids are of two types: saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid. In Saturated fatty acid, double bond is absent, whereas unsaturated fatty acid consists of one or more than one double bond. The melting point of a fatty acid indirectly depends upon the number of double bond present in an acid. Higher is the number of double bonds in an acid, lower will be the melting point of that acid.

4. The ester you drew in Question #1 has a melting point range of 32-35 °C. The methyl ester of mono-unsaturated
palmitoleic acid (IUPAC name: hexadec-9enoic acid) has a considerably lower melting point range: -0.5-+0.5 °C.
a) Explain what it means for a fatty acid to the "mono-unsaturated."
b) Illustrate your explanation by drawing the structure of the methyl ester of octadec-11-enoic acid. (Be sure to draw
the geometric stereoisomer that is commonly found in nature.)
The main fatty acid component of the triacylglycerols in coconut oil is lauric acid, CH3(CH2)10COOH. Explain why coconut oil is a liquid at room temperature even though it contains a large fraction of this saturated fatty acid.
1. Abundant trans bonds make partially hydrogenated vegetable oil a very unhealthy food choice. Vegetable oil can also be hydrogenated until it becomes fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. Would the physical properties of the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils differ? If so, how and why would the differences occur? Do you think that full hydrogenation makes vegetable oil more or less healthy to eat, or does it have no effect?
2. Lipoprotein particles are relatively large, spherical clumps of protein and lipid molecules (see Figure 3.18) that circulate in the blood of mammals. They are like suitcases that move cholesterol, fatty acid remnants, triglycerides, and phospholipids from one place to another in the body. Given what you know about the insolubility of lipids in water, which of the four kinds of lipids would you predict to be on the outside of a lipoprotein clump, bathed in the water-based fluid portion of blood?
