Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.24EP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason as to why the introduction of a cis-double bond into a fatty acid molecule lowers its melting point has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The length of the carbon chain in fatty acids and the degree of unsaturation determines the physical properties of fatty acids. Melting point of fatty acids is inversely related with the degree of unsaturation.

The main fatty acid component of the triacylglycerols in coconut oil is lauric acid, CH3(CH2)10COOH. Explain why coconut oil is a liquid at room temperature even though it contains a large fraction of this saturated fatty acid.
Why do cis fatty acids kink or bend and not trans?

- Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids are often liquid. This difference occurs because saturated fatty acids have than unsaturated fatty acids. fewer hydrogen atoms O fewer double bonds ○ more double bonds more carbon atoms more glycerol moleculesarrow_forwardThere are structural differences between saturated fatty acids, cis-unsaturated fatty acids, and trans-unsaturated fatty acids. • Why have some cities banned the use of trans-unsaturated fatty acids at restaurants? Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like unsaturated fatty acids and cost more energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like saturated fatty acids and cost more energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like saturated fatty acids and cost less energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. None of the other answers are correct.
