23. Lipids

Identify each of the following processes as hydrogenation, hydrolysis, or saponification and give the products:

a. the reaction of palm oil with KOH

Use line-angle formulas to write the balanced chemical equation for the acid hydrolysis of glyceryl trimyristate (trimyristin).

Provide the common name of the fatty acids produced from the enzymatic hydrolysis of the following triacylglycerol.

The salt of a fatty acid has its ending of “ic acid” changed to “ate”. Based on this information provide the name of the salt created from the following saponification reaction.

Write the complete equation for the hydrolysis of a triacylglycerol in which the fatty acids are two molecules of stearic acid and one of oleic acid.

Is the reaction shown here esterification, hydrogenation, hydrolysis, saponification, or substitution?

Draw the structures of all products you would obtain by saponification of the following lipid with aqueous KOH. What are the names of the products?

b. Glyceryl trioleate

c. A sphingomyelin

d. Prostaglandin E₁

e. A cerebroside

f. A lecithin

b. Glyceryl trioleate

c. A sphingomyelin

d. Prostaglandin

e. A cerebroside

f. A lecithin
