Why is a fatty acid called a fatty acid

Fatty acids are fairly long linear hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end. Fatty acids are named based on the number of carbon atoms and carbon-carbon double bonds in the chain. ... This bond could bind a molecule of hydrogen, forming a 16-carbon molecule with no carbon-carbon double bonds.

Explanation:

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
