Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double bond. Solution L1 Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids. stearic acid (18 C) saturated oleic acid (18 C) one double bond linoleic acid (18 C) two double bonds ![]() Learning Check L1 How would the melting point of stearic acid compare to the melting points of oleic acid and linoleic acid? Assign the melting points of –17☌, 13☌, and 69☌ to the correct fatty acid.
