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.

Why do you think it is important to use the same blanace throughout the entire experiment?
Zepler [3.9K]

It is important to use the same balance throughout the entire experiment since the calibration of each balance is not the same and changing balances could result in a systematic error.

There are three types of errors that could affect the results of the experiment. The effect of random or indeterminate errors is hard to predict, its effect on the results of the experiment could be different every time. The second type of error is the systematic or determinate error, which causes a shift in results in a specific direction. The last type of error in an experiment is human error.

The type of error that could be related to the use of different balances throughout the experiment is the systematic error. Instruments could be a source of error especially if they are poorly calibrated. Also, analytical balances are calibrated differently which may result in inaccuracy in the weighing of chemicals.

A car with a mass of 1,000 kg is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is the car's kinetic energy?
shtirl [24]

The answer would be 200000 J. the equation for kinetic energy is 1/2 mass times velocity squared. 1/2 of 1,000 is 500. and 20*20 is 400. So, multiply 400 by 500, and that gives you your answer,
