Explanation:
Oleic acid originates from an unsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms and one double bond, which can be found in olive oil and many other vegetable and animal oils and fats. Its economic importance includes the production of soap making and cosmetics etc.
The line-bond structure of the given oleic acid in the question can be found in the attached below.
You must first calculate the total weight of 1 mole of the substance. You do this by finding the molar weights on the periodic table of each of the elements in the compound:
So now we take the amount of each element that is given in the compound and divide it by the total mass of the compound:
Carbon: 96.08g
Carbon = 49.48%
Nitrogen: 56.028g
Nitrogen = 28.85%
Oxygen: 31.998g
Oxygen = 16.48%
