Match the Following +4 −1
Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List - I सूची - I
Fatty Acid List-I (Fatty Acid
List - II सूची - II
Melting point List-II (Melting point
A Lauric acid Lauric acid I $69.6^\circ\text{C}$ $69.6^\circ\text{C}$
B Palmitic acid Palmitic acid II $53.9^\circ\text{C}$ $53.9^\circ\text{C}$
C Myristic acid Myristic acid III $44.2^\circ\text{C}$ $44.2^\circ\text{C}$
D Stearic acid Stearic acid IV $63.1^\circ\text{C}$ $63.1^\circ\text{C}$
  • Chain Length vs Melting Point of Saturated Fatty Acids: In unbranched saturated fatty acids, melting point increases systematically with increasing carbon chain length due to greater surface area and cumulative London dispersion forces:
  • Lauric acid (12:0): $\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_{10}\text{COOH} \rightarrow$ $44.2^\circ\text{C}$ (III)
  • Myristic acid (14:0): $\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_{12}\text{COOH} \rightarrow$ $53.9^\circ\text{C}$ (II)
  • Palmitic acid (16:0): $\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_{14}\text{COOH} \rightarrow$ $63.1^\circ\text{C}$ (IV)
  • Stearic acid (18:0): $\text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_{16}\text{COOH} \rightarrow$ $69.6^\circ\text{C}$ (I)
  • Systematic Match: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) (Option 4).

Correct option: (4) (A) - (Ill), (B) - (VY), (C)- (I), (2) - (1)
