Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
How addition of NaOH to the sink drain removes the blockage should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Glycerol reacts with fatty acids to form triglycerols which are found in fat and oil. Stearic acid is asaturatedfatty acid with 18 carbon atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
We need to write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the subpart (a).
Concept Introduction:
Glycerol reacts with fatty acids to form triglycerols which are found in fat and oil. Stearic acid is asaturatedfatty acid with 18 carbon atoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
The volume of NaOH that will react with tristearin should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Glycerol reacts with fatty acids to form triglycerols which are found in fat and oil. Stearic acid is asaturatedfatty acid with 18 carbon atoms.
