Step1: Analyze stearin (from stearic acid)
Stearic acid has only single bonds (saturated), so stearin (triglyceride of stearic acid) is saturated. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temp.
Step2: Analyze triolein (from oleic acid)
Oleic acid has a double bond (unsaturated), so triolein (triglyceride of oleic acid) is unsaturated. Unsaturated fats (especially with cis - double bonds) are usually liquid at room temp.
Step3: Fill the table
- For "is a saturated fat": stearin (saturated) gets checked, triolein (unsaturated) does not.
- For "is an unsaturated fat": triolein (unsaturated) gets checked, stearin (saturated) does not.
- For "is likely liquid at room temperature": triolein (unsaturated) gets checked, stearin (saturated, solid) does not.
- For "is likely solid at room temperature": stearin (saturated, solid) gets checked, triolein (unsaturated, liquid) does not.
