Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical property and the process through which estrogens and androgens are separated need to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
>Estrogens and androgens are hormonal steroids. Steroids are a group of compounds that are obtained from lipids of plants and animals. Biologically, important steroids include male and female sex hormones, vitamins, and bile acids.
>Estrogens are a primary female sex hormone. The three main endogenous estrogen hormones are estrone, estradiol, and estriol. Estrone is a weak estrogen steroid and has a relatively minor hormonal function, while estradiol is a major female sex hormone.
>Androgens are the primary male sex hormones. Androsterone, a secondary male sex hormone, is an endogenous steroid hormone. It is a weak androgen with a molecular formula of.
>Estrogens, because of the presence of phenolic groups, react with aqueous NaOH.
>Androgens do not react with NaOH because of the absence of functional phenolic moieties in their structures.

Then, the product solution is analyzed and found to contain, 45% ethanol; 5% acetic acid; and 15% glycerin by weight. If the original charge is 500 kg, evaluate; e. The ratio of sucrose to water in the original charge (wt/wt). f. Moles of CO2 evolved. g. Maximum possible amount of ethanol that could be formed. h. Conversion efficiency. i.
