Question

1. Palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid) and Palmitoleic acid both have 16 carbons in the molecule, however the two molecules have different melting points. Palmitic acid has a melting point of 63C. Palmitoleic acid has a mellting point of 63C. Explain this difference in melting points based on the structure and intermolecular forces.

2. The baked-on mess found in most dirty ovens consists primarily of fats or oil. Most popular oven-cleaners are just solutions of stron base. After the cleaner is applied, it is allowed to sit for some time, or sometimes the oven is set on low heat to help the cleaner work. Then, most of the baked-on grease and mess just wipes away. Explain what reaction has occurred here and what is being wiped away after the cleaner has done its job

3. What would you change about this experimental procedure in order to make biodisel instead of soaP?
