(a)
Interpretation: Among the terms acidic hydrolysis, saponification, hydrogenation and oxidation, the term that can be applied to the given reaction change has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The hydrolysis of triacylglycerol is carried out in the presence of an acid or a base. The hydrolysis of triacylglycerol takes place in the presence of an acid forms glycerol and fatty acid as the desired products. The hydrolysis of triacylglycerol takes place in the presence of a base forms glycerol and fatty acid salts as the desired products.
The process of addition of hydrogen atoms across the carbon-carbon double or triple bond is known as hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is the process of converting an unsaturated compound into a saturated compound.
The process of converting a fat or oil into the fatty acid salts and glycerol in the presence of water and a base like

- Use the literature Ka value of the acetic acid, and the data below to answer these questions. Note: You will not use the experimental titration graphs to answer the questions that follow. Group #1: Buffer pH = 4.35 Group #2: Buffer pH = 4.70 Group #3: Buffer pH = 5.00 Group #4: Buffer pH = 5.30 Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the buffer pH provided and the literature pKa value of acetic acid to perform the following: a) calculate the ratios of [acetate]/[acetic acid] for each of the 4 groups buffer solutions above. b) using the calculated ratios, which group solution will provide the best optimal buffer (Hint: what [acetate]/[acetic acid] ratio value is expected for an optimal buffer?) c) explain your choicearrow_forwardHow would you prepare 1 liter of a 50 mM Phosphate buffer at pH 7.5 beginning with K3PO4 and 1 M HCl or 1 M NaOH?
