Pick out the unsaturated fatty acid from the following
- A oleic acid
- B palmitic acid
- C stearic acid
- D lauric acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) oleic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Unsaturated fatty acids contains one or more double bond in their carbon chains. Their general formula is \(\mathrm{C}_{n} \mathrm{H}_{2 n-2 x} \mathrm{O}_{2}\). \(\therefore\) Oleic acid \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{34} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)\) is unsaturated fatty acid…
