a) Determine the mass of myristic acid isolated from the KOH saponification of 1.8g of trimyristin if the reaction to the potassium salt of myristic acid proceeded with an 82% yield and the conversion of this salt to myristic acid proceeded in 74% yield.
b) Provide the structure of an optically pure triglyceride that provides two equivalents of butanoic acid and one equivalent of pentanoic acid after the saponification protocol described above.
a) Determine the mass of myristic acid isolated from the KOH saponification of 1.8g of trimyristin...
1. Imagine a triglyceride molecule is made from the following three fatty acids: a myristic acid, a palmitoleic acid, and an oleic acid. . Draw the structure of the triglyceride molecule described above by using line-angle formulas for the hydrocarbon tails. b. Write the saponification reaction of this triglyceride molecule in KOH solution to produce potassium soap. Use condensed structural formulas for the hydrocarbon tails. c. Write the condensed structural formula for two insoluble ionic compounds produced when this potassium...
