Melting point: what happens when the carbon chain length of fatty acids become shorter? increased melting point decrease melting point no change   2. Why do lipids with long chain fatty acids have lower saponification value? they are linear in structure, thus it is difficult to saponify they have lower number of carboxyl group per 1 gram of sample they require less amount of KOH during titration they require less HCL during back titration
