Explanation: Saponification reaction is a reaction in which hydrolysis of fats takes place under basic conditions giving glycerol and a salt of corresponding fatty acid.

We are given a Fatty acid called as Trimyristin.

Its reaction with KOH leads to the formation of soap and is given by the equation:

$Trimyristin+3 KOH\rightarrow Glycerol+Soap$

$C_{45}H_{86}O_6+3KOH\rightarrow C_3H_5(OH)_3+3CH_3(CH_2)_{12}CO_2K$

The condensed structural formula for the equation is given in the image attached.

<span>Answer: Trimyristin is the triester formed from glycerol and three molecules of myristic acid, a long chain fatty acid. Hydrolysis would be C45H86O6 -> C3H8O3 + 3 C14H28O2</span>

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = $\frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol$

Moles of propylene = $\frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol$

1 mole = $N_A =6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = $2.036 mol\times N_A$

Units of propylene = $1.024 mol\times N_A$

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

$=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}$

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

$=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}$
