1. **What are products of the following reaction:****A.)** - Reactants: - A triglyceride with the structure shown: - CH₂-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₆CH₃ - | - CH-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₆CH₃ - | - CH₂-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₆CH₃ - It reacts with 3 NaOH.- Products: - 3 CH₂OH-CH-OH (Glycerol) - Long chain carboxylate (soap).The reaction is a saponification, where the triglyceride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form glycerol and soap.**B.)** - Reactants: - CH₂-O-CO-(CH₂)₇-CH=CH-(CH₂)₇-CH₃ - | - CH-O-CO-(CH₂)₇-CH=CH-(CH₂)₇-CH₃ This unsaturated fat reacts with 2H₂ in the presence of a Ni catalyst.- This reaction is a hydrogenation process, turning unsaturated fats into saturated fats by adding hydrogen across the double bonds. Based on the structure, the C=C double bonds in the fatty acids will be converted to single bonds, resulting in a saturated fat.

(a) The given reaction is, This is saponification reaction. In saponification reaction, triglycerides react with sodium hydroxide to produce glycerol and fatty acid salt called soap. Saponification is alkaline hydrolysis of the fatty acid esters. The mechanism involves, nucleophilic attack by hydroxide and leaving group removal. In another step deprotonation takes place. The above reaction produces glycerol as shown in the reaction and 3 soap molecules as shown below,(B) The given reaction is hydrogenation reaction. In this reaction unsaturated glycerides react with hydrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst like Ni and gives saturated glyceride. The product of the given reaction is shown below,
