Why is hydrogenated olive oil solid but cis-unsaturated olive oil a liquid?

∙ 12y ago
The double bond in the cis-unsaturated olive oil is bent in the center and doesn't pack well into a crystal lattice necessary to make it a solid, so it turns out to be liquid at room temperature. Hydrogenated olive oil however is a solid because all of its double bonds are trans and it can fit into a crystal lattice.
Hope that's helpful :)

What is partially hydrated?
Perhaps you mean 'hydrogenated'. This is a process where a liquid oil is chemically treated to make it solid. The resulting product is extremely unhealthy.
Is coconut oil a liquid or solid?
It is a liquid at room temperature: 24 °C (76 °F) and above if it is virgin coconut oil . But it is usually found as hydrogenated product so it will be a solid if it has been processed. Therefore it depends on which type you have.

What is the physical state of gold neon oxygen gasoline olive oil mercury at room temperature?
gold- solid neon- usually gas (depending on pressure) oxygen- gas gasoline- liquid olive oil- liquid mercury- liquid
In what state of matter does cooking oil exist at room temperature?
Clearly, this depends on the temperature of the room. In most countries, cooking oil will be liquid at room temperature. However in very cold countries, cooking oil will be solid at room temperature.
What physical state is olive oil at room temperature?
If it is "oil" then it is a liquid. Some salad dressings, however, are composed of both solid and liquid components.
Is liquid shortening the same as solid shortening?
Liquid shortening is not the same as solid shortening. Solid shortening usually contains hydrogenated fats and is firm at room temperature, while liquid shortening remains in liquid form at room temperature. The choice between the two depends on the specific recipe being used.
Characteristics of hydrogenated oils?
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.
What are the different types of fats in food?
Saturated fats--these are solid at room temperature--butter, shortening, bacon greaseMonounsaturated fats--liquid at room temperature, solid in the refrigerator--olive, peanut, canola oils.Polyunsaturated fats--liquid at room temperature and in the refrigerator--sunflower, safflower, corn and soy oils.Hydrogenated fats--usually vegetable oils chemically altered to be solid at room temperature--shortening and margarinePartially hydrogenated fats--similar to hydrogenated but can have a variety of textures. Has been shown to exacerbate heart disease. Banned in Denmark and New York City.
Is onion a solid or liquid?
liquid
What is the difference between solid and liquid fat?
Solid fats are typically saturated fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter or coconut oil. Liquid fats are usually unsaturated fats that are liquid at room temperature, like olive oil or vegetable oil. Solid fats tend to be more stable for cooking, while liquid fats are healthier options due to their lower saturated fat content.
What are hydrogenated lipids?
Hydrogenated lipids are also known as fats or oils. Hydrogenated lipids were treated with hydrogen and are not as healthy as other alternatives.
