Question

the process used to convert liquid vegetable oils to solids by changing its bonds is called ______ multiple choice carbonization hydrogenation oxygenation solidification

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Carbonization involves converting organic matter to carbon, not related to oil solidification.
• Hydrogenation adds hydrogen to unsaturated fats (like liquid vegetable oils) to make them saturated (solid), matching the process.
• Oxygenation involves adding oxygen, not for oil solidification.
• Solidification is a general phase change, but the process here is chemical (bond change), so hydrogenation is correct.

Answer:

B. hydrogenation (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original labels were different, adjust the identifier, but the text is "hydrogenation")
