4. Answer the following questions regarding fatty acids and lipids:
A. Draw the structure for stearic acid below. You may use expanded, condensed or line angle.
B. In your drawing identify the polar and non-polar regions in stearic acid (label picture in question 1). Explain why it is a NON-POLAR chemical.
C. Propylene glycol is another name for 1, 2-propanediol. Draw the structure below and explain why it was a POLAR.
D. Research the following chemicals and briefly describe their physical properties (polarity, pH and solubility).
Mineral Oil:
