The melting point of fatty acids depends upon chain length and _________
A. The shape of the fatty acids
B. The position of the double bond
C. Charge on the carbon
D. Degree of unsaturation
Answer:D
The melting point of fatty acids depends upon chain length and _________
A. The shape of the fatty acids B. The position of the double bond C. Charge on the carbon D. Degree of unsaturation
Explanation: The melting point of fatty acids is determined by the length of the chain and number of the double bond. The longer the chain, the higher the melting point and the larger the number of double bonds the lesser the melting point.
