I think the fatty acids that may be used to make a fat that is liquid at room temperature are One plamitic acid, one stearic acid, and one oleic acid.
Fatty acids are composed of linked chains of carbon atoms with an organic acid group at the end of the chain. Liquid fats or Oils are mainly obtained from plants or fish sources, and have high percentages of unsaturated fatty acids.

Answer:

A combination of oleic acid & palmitic acid.

Explanation:

Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature because of the presence of double bond in them.

Between palmitic acid and stearic acid, we will choose palmitic acid because palmitic acid (16 carbon chain) has less number of carbon atoms as compared to stearic acid (18 carbon chain) that is why it is liquid at room temperature. The fatty acids which have more number of carbon atoms have more Tm (transition temperature) so they will require more temperature for changing phase from solid to liquid. So, it simply means they will be solid at room temperature that is why we will not choose stearic acid.

Tm ∝ No. of carbon atoms in the lipid ∝  hydrophobic interactions.

Gamma Rays; X- Rays; Ultraviolet Rays; Infrared; Micro; Radio

I'm guessing green means the color wave 
So it should be: Radio-Infrared- Green - UV - Gamma 
This is because frequency decreases when going from left to right on the Light Spectrum!

It is common for students to overshoot the endpoint, meaning they add too much NaOH(aq) from the buret, which causes the solutio
umka2103 [35]

Answer: the percentage of acetic acid will be low.

Explanation: The major aim during titration of acids and bases is to  determine the endpoint , that is exact point where the acid  in the beaker changes colour, (in this case, pink )with an additional  drop from the burette containing the base, since it is usually difficult to mark the equivalence point that tells us when  all the substrate in the beaker has been neutralized completely with the buretted substance.

Overshooting the end point is  an error which can occur when the person involved in the  the titration accidently goes beyond this  endpoint by adding too much of the substance(base) from the burette into the beaker missing the exact endpoint.

This implies that the person  has  added too much of the burreted liquid, ie the base than required  , making the acid in the beaker to continue to react resulting  to a lower concentration of the acid (acetic acid)  with excess base.(NaOH)
