Chapter 15: Q. 15.10 (page 516)

For each of the following fatty acids, give the shorthand notation for the number of carbon atoms and double bonds, and classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated:

a. linoleic acid

b. palmitic acid

c. myristic acid

d. oleic acid

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) polysaturated

Part (b) monosaturated

Part (c) Saturated

Part (d) monosaturated

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

The number of carbon atoms and double bonds in linoleic acid and we have to classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Number of C : double bond=18:2

2double bond so polysaturated fatty acid

03

Part (b) Step 3: Given Information

The number of carbon atoms and double bonds in palmitic acid and we have to classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.

04

Part (b) Step 4: Explanation

Number ofC:double bond =16:1

1 double bond so monosaturated fatty acid

05

Part (c) Step 5: Given Information

The number of carbon atoms and double bonds in myristic acid and we have to classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.

06

Part (c) Step 6: Explanation

Number ofC: double bond =14:0

0 double bond so saturated fatty acid

07

Part (d) Step 7: Given Information

The number of carbon atoms and double bonds in oleic acid and we have to classify as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.

08

Part (d) Step 8: Explanation

Number ofC:double bond =18:1

1 double bond so monosaturated fatty acid

The insect repellant DEET is an amide that can be made from the amidification of 3-methylbenzoic acid with diethylamine.

A 6.0 can of DEET repellant contains 25% DEET.

a. Draw the line angle formula of DEET.

b. Give the molecular formula of DEET.

The plastic known as PETE (Polytethylenetetraphathalate) is used to make plastic bottles and containers for shampoo and dishwashing agents. PETE is made of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol liquids. Today PETE is the most widely recycled plastic. In one year 1.5*109 lb of PETE is recycled. After it is separated from other plastics, PETE can be used in polyester fabrics, door mats, and tennis ball containers. The density of PETE is 1.38 g/mL.

a. Draw the line angle formula for the center formed from one molecule of terephthalic acid and one molecule of ethylene glycol.

b. Draw the line angle formula for the product formed when a second molecule of ethylene glycol reacts with the enter you draw in part a.

c. How many kilograms of PETE is recycled in one year?

d. What volume, in liters of PETE is recycled in one year?

e. Suppose a landfill holds 2.7*107L of recycled PETE. If all the PETE that is recycled in one year were placed instead in landfills, how many would fir?
