Draw a triacylglycerol (triglyceride) made from glycerol, myristic acid [CH3(CH2)12COOH], palmitic acid [CH3(CH2)14COOH], and ol
eic acid [CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH(cis)]. Place palmitic acid at the middle position. Cis/trans isometry is graded

Answer:
The triglyceride made from glycerol, myristic acid, palmitic acid and cis-oleic acid is shown in the attached pictures.
Explanation:
A triglyceride or triacylglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. The fatty acids of this exercise are myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid.
A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipid nature formed by a long linear hydrocarbon chain, of different length or number of carbon atoms, at the end of which is a carboxyl group.
The myristic acid has a carbon chain of 14 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.
Palmitic acid has a carbon chain of 16 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.
Oleic acid has a carbon chain of 18 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end and a double bond at position 9.
Triglyceride is formed by the esterification of the glycerol oxidrile group and the carboxyl acid group.

The electron configuration of V³⁺ is [Ar]. The ion is paramagnetic because it has two unpaired electrons
- A weak magnetic field supplied externally can weakly attract some materials, which then create internal magnetic fields that are directed in the same direction as the applied magnetic field. This phenomenon is known as paramagnetic.
- Diamagnetic materials, in contrast, are attracted to magnetic fields and produce induced magnetic fields that are directed in the opposite direction from the applied magnetic field.
- The majority of chemical elements and some compounds are considered to be paramagnetic materials.
- Paramagnetic materials have a relative magnetic permeability that is somewhat more than 1, which makes them attracted to magnetic fields.
- The applied field induces a linearly decreasing magnetic moment that is relatively weak.
- Modern experiments on paramagnetic materials are frequently done with a sensitive analytical balance since it typically requires a sensitive analytical balance to identify the effect.
