Chapter 8, Problem 8.66EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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 $\text{NaOH}$ is known as saponification.
