Amolecule with the formula c18h36o2 is probably a?

Fatty acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the given formula, it is possible to infer that the O₂ at the end, accounts for the presence of a carboxyl group (first attached picture), characteristic of carboxylic acids. Moreover, long-chained carboxylic acids are considered as fatty acids due to their high nonpolarity and hydrophobicity, therefore, the molecule with such formula probably a fatty acid, more precisely, stearic acid (second attached picture).

Best regards.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
