1.	The molecular formula of three fatty acids A, B and C present in oil or fat is C_12 H_29COOH, C_15H_29COOH and C_16H_29COOHWhich of these is derived from i) Alkane ii) Alkene and iii) Alkyne? Which of them becomes rancid earlier? How can we increase its shelf life?
Answer» SOLUTION :Derived from i) ALKANE - `C_2H_29COOH` II) Alkene - `C_15H_29COOH` iii) Alkyne - `C_16H_29COOH ` `C_16H_29COOH ` is unsaturated undergoes rancidity EARLIER. By hydrogenation we can increase shelf life.
