(d)

Answer to Problem 25.14SP
The structure of an example of soap is shown in Figure 4.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction of fatty acids with sodium hydroxide leads to the formation of sodium salt of fatty acid and soap is the sodium salt of a fatty acid. The carboxylate group is negatively charged and is hydrophilic in nature, whereas long hydrocarbon is hydrophobic and lipophilic in nature.

Interpretation:
The structure of an example of detergent is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Synthetic detergents are the sodium salts of sulfonic acids.
(e)

Answer to Problem 25.14SP
The structure of an example of detergent is shown in Figure 5.
Explanation of Solution
Synthetic detergents are the sodium salts of sulfonic acids. Carboxylic acid is less acidic than sulfonic acids; therefore salts of sulfonic acids do not protonate in acidic wash water. The salts of sulfonic acid are soluble in water and can be used in hard water without formation of scum.
An example of detergent is alkylbenzenesulfonate. The structure of alkylbenzenesulfonate is shown below.

Answer to Problem 25.14SP
The structure of an example of soap is shown in Figure 6.
Explanation of Solution
Lipids that contain groups derived from phosphoric acid are phospholipids. The common phospholipids are phosphogylcerides. Generally it contains phosphoric acid in place of one fatty acids of a triglyceride.
An example of phospholipids can be phosphatidic acids. The structure of phosphatidic acids is shown below.

Interpretation:
The structure of an example of prostaglandins is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Prostaglandins are the powerful biochemical regulators than steroids. These are the fatty derivatives and are isolated from the secretions of the prostate gland. They have an important role in regulating blood pressure, blood clotting.
They have cyclopentane ring with two long side chains that are trans to each other. And one side chain end with a carboxylic acid.

Answer to Problem 25.14SP
The structure of an example of prostaglandin is shown in Figure 7.
Explanation of Solution
Prostaglandins are the powerful biochemical regulators than steroids. These are the fatty derivatives and are isolated from the secretions of the prostate gland. They have an important role in regulating blood pressure, blood clotting.
They have cyclopentane ring with two long side chains that are trans to each other. And one side chain ends with a carboxylic acid.
The structure of prostaglandin is shown below.

Answer to Problem 25.14SP
The structure of an example of steroid is shown in Figure 8.
Explanation of Solution
Steroids are the polycyclic molecules found in all plants and animals. They do not undergo hydrolysis; therefore they are classified as simple lipids. Their structure is based on the tetracyclic andostane ring.
An example of steroid is androsterone. The structure of androsterone is shown below.
