Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The difference in vegetable from plant and motor oil obtained from crude oil needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are
Triacylglycerol are the most abundant lipids, which are mainly found in animal fat and vegetable oils. The saponification reaction of triacylglycerol is an alkaline hydrolysis of these trimesters that forms sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids (soap) and glycerol as the product. The hydrolysis of triacylglycerol can be done in the presence of an aqueous solution of base like

- Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2- methylheptane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405 grams of 2-methylheptane? more less the same amount Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardSalicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen.
