Chapter 19.1, Problem 19.2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the lipid is soluble in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$, 5% aqueous NaCl solution and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept introduction:

A lipid can be defined as a biomolecule which is insoluble in water and has a high solubility in non-polar organic solvents. The simple form of lipids contains fats containing triestersmade up of one glycerol and three fatty acids.
