Question

the models show the chemical structures of two different fatty acids. stearic acid is a fatty acid found in the triglyceride stearin. oleic acid is a fatty acid found in the triglyceride triolein. chemical structures of stearic acid and oleic acid complete the table. table with columns: stearin, triolein; rows: is an unsaturated fat, is likely solid at room temperature, is a saturated fat, is likely liquid at room temperature

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze stearic acid (stearin)

Stearic acid has only single bonds between carbon atoms (saturated), so stearin (triglyceride of stearic acid) is a saturated fat. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature.

Step2: Analyze oleic acid (triolein)

Oleic acid has a double bond between carbon atoms (unsaturated), so triolein (triglyceride of oleic acid) is an unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature.

Answer:

	stearin	triolein
is likely solid at room temperature	Yes	No
is a saturated fat	Yes	No
is likely liquid at room temperature	No	Yes
