Chapter 7, Problem 26P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of units of unsaturation present in a molecule of oleic acid should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon multiple bonds are present that is double and triple bond.

Charles’s law states that volume of a gas and its kelvin temperature is directly proportional to each other at constant pressure

The mathematical expression is shown as:

  $\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}$
