Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The higher melting point between glyceryl trioleate and glyceryl trilinoleate has to be identified.
Concept-Introduction:
Melting point of fatty acids:
- Increase in length of hydrocarbon chain of a fatty acid and its degree of saturation increases melting point.
- Fatty acids that pack better way has attractive dispersion force between molecules which increases melting point.
- Saturated fatty acids pack regular, compact form than unsaturated fatty acid. Due to kink induced by cis double bonds, unsaturated fatty acids are arranged irregular.
- Therefore, it has low melting point. Hence, unsaturated fatty acid has lower melting point than saturated fatty acid.
