Chapter 19.2, Problem 19.3P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The skeletal structure for the given fatty acids needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In fatty acid, there is a straight chain of carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms. In the straight-chain, one end contains a carboxyl group(−COOH).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic portions of the fatty acids needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Usually, in fatty acid, there are 2 portions as head & chain. The hydrophilic part of any species is water-soluble and the hydrophobic part is water-insoluble.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Depending on the skeletal structure, the fatty acid with a higher melting point needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The physical & chemical properties of fatty acids are markedly dependent on chain length and degree of saturation. If the length or size of the fatty acid is more, then it has a higher melting point. Also, the surface area of any substance and its bond strength is directly proportional to the melting point.
