(a)
Interpretation:
Skeleton structure of fatty acid A with cis double bond has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid leads to formation of lipids and consists of a carboxyl group

Interpretation:
The
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acids with unsaturation are classified as
(c)
Interpretation:
Stereoisomer of fatty acid A has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Some molecules have similar molecular structure but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms that is atoms are located differently in space. Such molecules are termed as stereoisomers.

- Which of these fatty acids is considered a "good fat"?arrow_forwardfatty acid naming 1 A fatty acid contains 18 carbon atoms and has two double bonds. The first is between carbons 3 and 4 and a double bond is between carbons 7 and 8, both measured from the end of the hydrophobic chain (away from the carboxylic acid end). What do we call this type of fatty acid? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a omega 2 fatty acid b. omega 3 fatty acid omega 7 fatty acid omega 8 fatty acid omega 18 fatty acidarrow_forwarda. Draw the structural formula 2,3,3,4-tetramethylheptane. b. Draw the structural formula of 4,5-diisopropylnonane. c.Draw the structural formula of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane.arrow_forward
- 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? 3. In 1976, a team of chemists in the United Kingdom was…arrow_forward5. Explain why ethanol can be oxidized but 2-methyl-2-butanol cannot be oxidized?arrow_forwardMake two identical models of methane with four different colored balls attached to each carbon. On one of the models switch two of the balls. Draw the two structures in stereoscopic projection (with dash, wedge, etc.). Label each hydrogen as H1, H2, etc.arrow_forward
- Please don't provide hand writtin solution......arrow_forwardFatty acids are carboxylic acids that have long hydrocarbon chains attached to a carboxylate group. How does a saturated fatty acid differ from an unsaturated fatty acid? How are they similar?arrow_forwardFats and oils are an essential part of our diets. Much of their molecular structure consists of long hydrocarbon chains. a) What physical property can often be used to distinguish saturated and unsaturated fat? b) Explain why unsaturated fats are less detrimental to human health than saturated fatsarrow_forward
- Explain why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. Explain why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. Explain why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. Explain why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. Explain why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18arrow_forward1.Draw a structure that corresponds to the incorrectly named: 6-tert-butyl-3-isopropylhexane. 1b. Rename the compound above according to the IUPAC rules. 1c. Draw a circle around every methine (3o) carbon and a square around every 4o carbon. How many 1o and 2o carbons arepresent?arrow_forwardA saturated fatty acid is a. a fatty acid with cis-carbon-carbon double bonds b. a fatty acid which has all single carbon-carbon bonds joining carbon atoms c. a fatty acid with a carbon chain which has just one carbon-carbon double bond d. a fatty acid chain in which a carbon chain has two or more carbon-carbon double bondsarrow_forward
