A) Saturated, because they have more carboxylic acid groups. B) Saturated, because they more naturally stack, so there are more areas where dispersion forces can occur. C) Saturated, because the single carbon bonds are stronger than the double carbon bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. D) Unsaturated, because the double carbon bonds are stronger than the single carbon bonds in saturated fatty acids. E) Unsaturated, because double carbon bonds will interact with other double bonds in a strong dispersion force. acerarrow_forward
- What structural component differentiate aromatic hydrocarbons from aliphaticarrow_forwardQuestion 11 Triglycerides are a type of lipid used to store fats. Saponification is the hydrolysis of triglycerides into "soap" (salts of long chain carboxylic acids). Oil-based paints are often made with triglycerides. The colors or pigments often contain metal salts. Soap 'blooms' sometimes appear in old Renaissance paintings in museums leading to degradation of the artwork. How do these soap blooms form? Renaissance painters often washed their brushes with soap and water. The metals can catalyze the formation of triglycerides from fatty acids and glycerine in the paint. The metals can catalyze the hydrolysis of the triglycerides in the paint with water from the air. The soap used on the floors by the museum cleaning crew bonds to the surface of the painting.arrow_forwardCommon Saturated Fatty Acids: Lauric acid: CH3(CH2)10CO2H Myristic acid: CH3(CH2)12CO2H Palmitic acid: CH3(CH2)14CO2H Stearic acid: CH3(CH2)16CO2H Arachidic acid: CH3(CH2)18CO2H Refer to the condensed formula for saturated fatty acids to be able to generate the name of the triglyceride belowImmersive Reader glyceryl trilaurate glyceryl trimyristate glyceryl tripalmitate glyceryl tristearatearrow_forward
