Glycerols IUPAC name is: |
Propane-1,2,3-triol. |
|
Long chained Carboxylic Acids are known as: |
Fatty Acids. |
|
Glycerol + Fatty acids: 1) Form? 2) These are more commonly known as? |
1) Tri-esters. 2) Fats & Oils. |
|
Fats: 1) Bonds in the chain are? 2) Intermolecular forces? – So? 3) Standard State? |
1) Mainly saturated, so they don't have double bonds. 2) High Van Der Waals as the chains are 'packed nicely'. – So they have a high melting point. 3) Solid at room temperature. |
|
Oils: 1) Bonds in the chain are? 2) Intermolecular forces? – So? 3) Standard State? |
1) Unsaturated - they have double bonds in them. 2) Low VDW becasue the chains don't 'pack nicely'. – So they have low melting points. (this is why they're liquids at room temperature. 3) Liquids. |
|
Base Hydrolysis of Tri Esters (Fats and oils): 1) Reagent? 2) Use of the salt formed? 3) Equation? 4) To turn this product into a fatty acid? |
1) Dilute NaOH. 2) Soaps and Shampoos. 3) Tri-Ester + 3NaOH --> Glycerol + 3Carboxylate Salts. 4) Add HCl. |
|
Forming Bio Diesels: 1) Type of reaction? 2) Reactants? 3) Products? 4) Catalyst? |
1) Base Hydrolysis. 2) Vegetable oil (Tri-ester) & Methanol. 3) Glycerol and methyl esters. 4) Strong basic catalyst e.g. KOH. |
