Question
Lipids provide energy and are an important part of a balanced diet.
Identify the type of chemical reaction that occurs between fatty acids and glycerol to form lipids and the by-product of the reaction.
Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid found in peanut oil.
Determine the number of carbon–carbon double bonds present if the iodine number for the compound is 334. (Arachidonic acid Mr = 304.5)
Deduce the structure of the lipid formed by the reaction between lauric acid and glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) using section 34 of the data booklet.
Outline one impact food labelling has had on the consumption of foods containing different types of lipids.
Determine, to the correct number of significant figures, the energy produced by the respiration of 29.9 g of C5H10O5.
ΔHc (C5H10O5) = 205.9 kJ mol−1
Explain why lipids provide more energy than carbohydrates and proteins.
