Omega indicates the position of the first double bond in an unsaturated carboxylic acid counting from methyl end. The omega-3 fatty acid among the following is

A

(9z) - hexadecanoic acid

B

(9z) - octadecanoic acid

C

(9z, 12z) - octadecanedioic acid

D

(9z, 12z, 15z)- octadecanetrioic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
It is `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH=CH-CH_(2)-CH=CH-CH_(2)-CH=CH-(CH_(2))_(7) COOH` and omega-3 fatty acid.

    Paragraph The acidic strength of saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids depends mainly upon the inductive effect of the substitutent and its position w.rt, the -COOH group. Whereas electron donating substitutents tend to decrease, electron withdrawing substitutents tend to increase the acid strength. The acidic strength of aromatic carboxylic acids, on the other hand, depends upon both the inductive and the resonance effect of the substitutents. Among the following, the strongest acid is
