Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of a wax formed from 30-carbon straight-chain alcohol and lauric acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are esters formed by reacting a fatty acid and a high molecular weight alcohol. Because of the large nonpolar portion of waxes, they are very hydrophobic. Therefore, waxes can be used as water repellent coating.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of a wax formed from 30-carbon straight-chain alcohol and myristic acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are esters formed by reacting a fatty acid and a high molecular weight alcohol. Because of the large nonpolar portion of waxes, they are very hydrophobic. Therefore, waxes can be used as water repellent coating.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of a wax formed from 30-carbon straight-chain alcohol and CH3(CH2)22COOH should be drawn.
