Which fat is most likely a solid at room temperature?

one that is saturated

one that is unsaturated

one with double bonds

one that contains no hydrogen

Respuesta :

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The fat that is most likely a solid at room temperature would be the one that is saturated. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature. Hope this answers the question.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fat contains high proportion of fatty acid molecules which have no double bonds then it is known as a saturated fat.

For example, animal fats are mostly saturated.

Fats which are solid at room temperature are known as solid fats. Butter, beef fat etc are all solid at room temperature. Most of the animal food gives solid fats.

Thus, we can conclude that saturated fat is most likely a solid at room temperature.
