stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid has the higher melting point, because it has two more
1 answer:
Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular van der waals interact than the myristic acid.
stearic arid
linoleic acid (two double bond)
Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.
Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.
-one double bond (cis)
Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Answer:
Deshydrohalogenation
Explanation:
You are not providing options to answer, however, this can be answered without options.
Now, in the reaction we can see that we have an atom of Bromine in carbon 2, and in the product appears as NaBr. This means that the Br was substracted by elimination. It's an elimination because the final product do not have a substituent where the bromine was, (Like another nucleophyle such OH or another halide). If you look closely the final product, we can see that one hydrogen in carbon 3, is no longer there. So this electrophyle was also substracted, in this case, by a base (Such NaOH), so in this case, it's ocurring an elimination reaction via E2 (One step, bimolecular). So, as the final product has been substracted the nucleophyle and electrophyle, this treaction is a deshydrohalogenation (an atom of hydrogen and a halide were substracted). The mechanism of this, you can see it in the picture.
