- You are given 150 mL of an oil made up of a mixture of 3 fatty acids: palmitoleic acid (C 16:1 (n-7)) erucic acid (C 22:1 (n-9)) stearidonic acid (C 18:4 (n-3)) You know that the 150 mL sample of this oil was prepared by adding 60 mL of palmitoleic acid to 90 mL of a mixture of erucic acid and stearidonic acid. Using a hydrometer you carefully measure the density of the 150 mL sample of oil and your analysis indicates that it has a density of 0.900 g/cm3. The densities of the individual fatty acids are: palmitoleic acid = 0.894 g/cm3 erucic acid = 0.860 g/cm3 stearidonic acid = 0.9334 g/cm3 Can you determine the volumes (in mL) of erucic acid and stearidonic acid in the total volume (150 mL) of the oil mixture?arrow_forward3) It is well known that the presence of double bonds in lipids lowers their melting temperature.

- Why do fats store about twice as much energy than carbohydrates? Carbohydrates can be incorporated into polymers through dehydration reactions, while fats cannot form polymers. Fatty acid chains have more carbon-carbon bonds than carbohydrates. Compared to carbohydrates, fatty acid chains have a higher ratio of bonds with high potential energy to bonds with low potential energy. Fat molecules are always larger than carbohydrate molecules. Fats contain more polar groups than carbohydrates.arrow_forwardI don't understand this question and can u help me to explain to mearrow_forwardI don't understand this question and can u help me to explain to mearrow_forward
