(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expected products when the triglyceride containing one equivalent of stearic acid and two equivalents of oleic acid react with the given reagents is to be drawn and the products will be optical active or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Chiral molecules are those molecules that consist of different groups or atoms around the centre atom. They don’t possess symmetry. Optical activity of compounds relies upon chirality. Only those compounds can rotate light that possess chiral centers.

(b)
