Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 30CI
Glyceryl trimyristate (trimyristin) is found in the seeds of the nutmug (Myristica fragrans). Trimyristin is used as a lubricant and fragrance in soaps and shaving creams. Isopropyl myristate is used to increase absorption of skin creams. Draw the condensed structural formula for each of the following: (15.2, 15.3, 15.4)

2. Use Hess's law to calculate the AH
(in kJ) for:
rxn
CIF(g) + F2(g) →
CIF 3 (1)
using the following information:
2CIF(g) + O2(g) →
Cl₂O(g) + OF 2(g)
AH = 167.5 kJ
ΔΗ
2F2 (g) + O2(g) → 2 OF 2(g)
