Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fatty acids used to form below triacylglycerol have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Triacylglycerols are lipids that are formed by two or more similar or different fatty acids. They are also called triglycerides and are hydrophobic and nonpolar in nature. Addition of glycerol and three similar or different fatty acids results into triesters that is triacylglycerols. The general reaction for the synthesis of triacylglycerol is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the below triacylglycerol is solid at room temperature or not has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Hydrophobic region of below triacylglycerol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Hydrophilic region of below triacylglycerol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(e)
Interpretation:
Product of hydrolysis of triacylglycerol by aqueous sulfuric acid has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c. (Please provide a full derivation of the equation for x from the equation for I). d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 bandarrow_forward
- For CARS, which statement is not true regarding its advantages? a) Contrast signal based on vibrational characteristics, no need for fluorescent tagging. b) Stronger signals than spontaneous Raman. c) Suffers from fluorescence interference, because CARS signal is at high frequency. d) Faster, more efficient imaging for real-time analysis. e) Higher resolution than spontaneous Raman microscopy.arrow_forwardDraw the major product of the Claisen condensation reaction between two molecules of this ester.
