AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to identify the structure and name of the unsaturated fatty acid that yields the given aldehydes upon ozonolysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ozonolysis**: Ozonolysis is a reaction where ozone (O₃) is used to cleave double bonds in alkenes, resulting in the formation of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). In this case, we are given that the products are one aldehyde and one aldehyde monocarboxylic acid. 2. **Identifying the Given Products**: ...
