Interpretation: The formula of the triester formed from glycerol and stearic acid has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In chemistry structure is the arrangement of
Ester: One
Esterification reaction: Esters are prepared by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol molecule with the elimination of water molecule. The addition of a strong acid such as
Here, the
Polyester: One
