19-16 Classify each of the fatty acids in Problem 19-14 using the
omega classification system or indicate that the omega
classification system does not apply to the fatty acid.
1 formula for the fatty acid
In the breakdown of fatty acids, we see the activation of a carboxylic
acid by its conversion to a
amine
ester
alcohol
thioester
carbonyl
aldehyde
You are given 150 mL of an oil made up of a mixture of 3 fatty acids:
palmitoleic acid (C 16:1 (n-7))
erucic acid (C 22:1 (n-9))
stearidonic acid (C 18:4 (n-3))
You know that the 150 mL sample of this oil was prepared by adding 60 mL of palmitoleic acid to 90 mL of a mixture of erucic acid and stearidonic acid.
Using a hydrometer you carefully measure the density of the 150 mL sample of oil and your analysis indicates that it has a density of 0.900 g/cm3.
The densities of the individual fatty acids are:
palmitoleic acid = 0.894 g/cm3
erucic acid = 0.860 g/cm3
stearidonic acid = 0.9334 g/cm3
Can you determine the volumes (in mL) of erucic acid and stearidonic acid in the total volume (150 mL) of the oil mixture?
