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.

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

Write a sentence that descrices how to determine the number of moles of a compound in known mass of a

sattari [20]

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

For example ,

For a compound X ,

The given mass i.e. w = 20 g

and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol

Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,

n = w / m

n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol

Hence , answer = 2 mol.

Are elements matter and why?

nata0808 [166]

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions. Gold, for instance, is an element, and so is carbon. There are 118 elements, but only 92 occur naturally.
