Which of the following is the most plausible explanation for the fact that the saponification of the triacylglycerol in the pass

age resulted in four different fatty acid salts?
a. The triacylglycerol molecule consisted of four different fatty acid units.
b. Glycerol was transformed into a fatty acid salt under the reaction conditions.
c. One of the fatty acid salts was unsaturated, and it completely isomerized under the reaction conditions.
d. One of the fatty acid salts was unsaturated, and a small percentage isomerized under the reaction conditions.

Answer: The correct option is C (One of the fatty acid salts was unsaturated, and it completely isomerized under the reaction conditions).

Explanation:

Fats and oils belongs to a general group of compounds known as lipids. Fatty acids are weak acid and are divided into two:

--> Saturated fatty acids: These have NO double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain, and

--> Unsaturated fatty acids: These have one or more double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain.

SAPONIFICATION is defined as the process by which fats and oil is hydrolyzed with caustic alkali to yield propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salt of the component fatty acids. During this process, One hydroxide ion is required to hydrolyze one ester linkage of a triacylglycerol molecule. Because there are three ester linkages in a triacylglycerol, three equivalents of sodium hydroxide will be needed to completely saponify the triacylglycerol. This explains the reason why saponification of the triacylglycerol iresulted in four different fatty acid salts.

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.
Dmitry [639]
 The number of moles of moles of  Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below

find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2

that is mg = 1 atom
        Cl =  1x2 = 2 atoms
        O  = 4  x2 = 8 atoms

then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is

Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80  moles
cl =   7.80  x2=15.6  moles
O =  7.80 x8= 62.4 moles

Select True or False: Pi bonds are covalent bonds in which the electron density is concentrated above and below a plane containi
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In pi bonds, the electron density concentrates itself between the atoms of the compound but are present on either side of the line joining the atoms. Electron density is found above and below the plane of the line joining the internuclear axis of the two atoms involved in the bond.

Pi bonds usually occur by sideways overlap of atomic orbitals and this leads to both double and triple bonds.
