Write an equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate, a fat formed from glycerol and three linolenic acid molecules

Tomtit [17]

Balanced chemical equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate:

C₅₇H₉₂O₆ + 9H₂ → C₅₇H₁₁₀O₆.

Linolenic acid (octadecatrienoic acids ) is a type of fatty acid. It has 18 carbon atoms chain and three double bonds. So trilinolenate has nine double bonds.

Trilinolenate is the form of triglyceride esters of linolenic acid.

Hydrogenation is addition of hydrogen atoms at both sides of a double bond.

The hall reaction of an oxidation-reduction reaction shows that iron gains electrons. What does this electron gain mean for iron

AnnZ [28]

Answer: Iron gains electrons mean It is reduced

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

$Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

$Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

Thus iron gains electrons mean It is reduced
