Question

<Chapter 15 Problem 15.89 < 17 of 24 > MI Review Constants 1 Periodic Table A sink drain can become clogged with solid fat such as glyceryl tristearate (tristearin), How would adding lye (NaOH) to the sink drain remove the blockage? • Adding NaOH will saponify lipids, forming glycerol and salts of the fatty acids that are soluble in water and would wash down the drain. Adding NaOH will saponify lipids, forming glycerol and salts of the latty acids that are soluble in nonpolar organic solvents Adding NaOH will decompose lipids, forming CO, and H.O. Adding NaOH will saponify lipids, forming ethylene glycol and salts of the fatty acids that are soluble in water and would wash down the drain. Submit Previous Answers Correct A sink drain can become clogged with saturated fats. - Part B Write the equation for the reaction that occurs. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Use molecular formulas for organic compounds. - AZ CH,80 + 3NaOH=CH,0+3C,H,O,Na Submit Previous Answers Request Answer X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining

Answer 1

1) Add NaOH saponifies lipids, which forms glycerol and salts that are soluble in water and then removed.

2) The reaction that occurs is:

C57H110O6 + 3 NaOH = 3 C18H35O2Na + C3H8O3

If you liked the answer, please rate it in a positive way, you would help me a lot, thank you.

Answer 2

C57H110O6 + 3 NaOH = 3 C18H35O2Na + C3H8O3

Answer 3

C57H110O6 + 3 NaOH = 3 C18H35O2Na + C3H8O3

Answer 4

RCO-glycerol + NaOH = RCOONa + H-glycerol
