Write the equation for the esterification of glycerol and three palmitic acids

1 answer:

8 0

During an esterification reaction, fatty acids and alcohols combine to form an ester. This is a condensation reaction and it produces water as its side product. The formulas of the reactants are:
Palmitic acid: CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH
Glycerol: C₃H₈O₃

Reaction equation:

3CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH + C₃H₈O₃ → 3H₂O + C₅₁H₉₈O₆

Answer:

Option E, Half life = $2.96\times 10^3\ s$

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = $2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s$

So, the correct option is option E.
