(a)
Interpretation: Which fatty acid would most contribute to a triacylglyceride being oil, rather than a fat, at a room temperature.
Concept Used:
Oil consists of large number of unsaturated fatty acids, whereas fats consists of large number of saturated fatty acid.
Also, saturated fatty acid do not have any carbon-carbon double bond, whereas unsaturated fatty acid consists of carbon-carbon double bond.
Unsaturated fatty acids which have more than one carbon-carbon double bond are referred to as polyunsaturated fatty acid.
To determine:
Find out if fatty acid would contribute to a triacylglyceride being oil, rather than a fat, at a room temperature.
