Oils are liquids at room temperature since they contain higher percentage of
- A oleates
- B palmitates
- C stearates
- D myristates
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) oleates
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oils, which are liquids at ordinary temperatures, contain a large proportion of unsaturated acids, like oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid. The facts which are solids at ordinary temperatures, contain a large proportion of saturated acids, like-myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid. e.g., glyceryl trioleate, which contains unsaturated acids components is an oil. Glyceryl tristearate which contains only saturated acids component is a fat.
