Title: Insight 2008 incorrect answer?
Post by: cama23 on June 07, 2010, 04:07:35 pm

was just going through the answers and correcting mine and according to insight C18H36O2 is an unsaturated acid and contains a C/C double bond.
pretty sure that it is saturated and doesnt contain any, clarrification?

They are completely wrong.

That one is saturated. The other one they have is unsaturated however... but it has only 1 double bond. They got confused, you don't add 2 to it.

yep thought so, had the other one as unsaturated with one double bond.

had CN H2N O2 is the formula for saturated fats, anyway thanks for clearing that up!
