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.

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.

PolarNik [594]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span>0.3."

Here it is how to solve.
M</span><span>olecular mass of Ar = 40
</span><span>Molecular mass of Ne = 20
</span><span>Number of moles of Ar = 9.59/40 = 0.239
</span><span>Number of moles of Ne = 11.12/20= 0.556
</span><span>Mole fraction of argon = 0.239/ ( 0.239 + 0.556) = 0.3</span><span>

Which process would require the least amount of energy?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer:<span> a) the process for the first ionization energy
</span>
<span>Every time you take a electron you're requiring more and more energy. Expelling the first one will require less energy than expelling the second and the second will require less than the third, and so on.
When you take the first one, the atom becomes positive and with that the negative forces of the electron will be more attracted to the positive charge. The more electrons that are lost, the more positive this ion will become, causing it to be more difficult to separate the electrons from the atom.
