One mole of a naturally occurring fat on hydrolysis with `NaOH` gave `1 mol` of glycerol together with sodium palmitate and sodium stearate in `1:2` molar ratio. The molecule of the fat is symmetric. Write down the struceture of the fat.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The `1:2` molar ratio of sodium palmitate and sodium stearate obtained on hydrolysis with `NaOH` indicates thate two stearate acid molecules and one palmitic acid are esterified with 1 mole of glycerol. Since the molecule of fat has symmetry, the two stearic acid molecules must be linked to two terminal primary alcoholic groups. therefore, the structure of the fat must be:

In a binary solution, the component present in smaller proportion is called solute while the one in excess is known as solvent. The solution containing 1 mole of the solute in 1L of solution is known as one molar solution while the solution in which 1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent is called one molal solution. The ratio of the no. of moles of a particular component to the total no. of moles in the solution is known as its mole fraciton 1.57 g of oxalic acid (COOH)_(2)xH_(2)O are dissolved in water and the volume is made upto 250 mL. On titrating 6.68 mL of this solution requires 25 mL of N/15 NaOH solution for complete neutralisation. The value of x is :

The colloidal particles are electrically charged as a indicated by their migration towards cathode or anode under the applied electric field. In a particular colloidal system, all particles carry either positive charge or negative charge. The electric charge on colloidal particles orginate in several ways. According to preferential adsorption theory, the freshly obtained precipitate particles adsorb ions from the dispersion medium, which are common to their lattice and acquire the charge of adsorbed ions. For example, For example, freshly obtained Fe(OH)_(3) precipitated is dispersed, by a little FeCl_(3) , into colloidal solution owing to the adsorption of Fe^(3+) ions in preference. Thus sol particles will be positively charged. In some cases the colloidal particles are aggregates of cations or anions having ampiphilic character. When the ions posses hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon end) as well as hydrophilic part (polar end group), they undergo association in aqueous solution to form particles having colloidal size. The formation of such particles, called micelles plays a very important role in the solubilization of water insoluble substances, (hydrocarbon, oils, fats, grease etc.). In micelles, the polar end groups are directed towards water and the hydrocarbon ends into the centre. The charge on sol particles of proteins depends on the pH. At low pH, the basic group of protein molecule is ionized (protonated) and at higher pH (alkaline medium), the acidic group is ionized. At isoelectric pH, characteristic to the protein, both basix and acidic groups are equally ionized. The stability of colloidal solution is attributed largely to the electric charge of the dispersed particles. This charge causes them to be coagulated or precipitated. On addition of small amount of electrolytes, the ions carrying oppiste charge are adsorbed by sol particles resulting in the neutralization of their charge. When the sol particles either with no charge or reduced charge, come closer due to Brownian movement, they coalesce to form bigger particles resulting in their separation from the dispersion medium. This is what is called coagulating or precipitation of the colloidal solution. The coagulating power of the effective ion, which depend on its charge, is expressed in terms of its coagulating value, defined as its minimum concentration (m mol/L) needed to precipitate a given sol. When 9.0 ml of arsenious sulphide sol and 1.0 ml of 1.0 xx 10^(-4) M BaCl_(2) are mixed, turbidity due to precipitation just appears after 2 hours. The effective ion and its coagulating value are respectively :

"Equivalent mass" =("Molecular mass/Atomic mass" )/("n-factor") n-factor is very important in redox as well as non-redox reactions.With the help of n-factor we can predict the molar ratio of the reactant species specis taking part in reactions. The reciprocal of n-factor's ratio of the reactions is the molar ratio of the reactants. In general n-factor of acid/base is number of moles of H^(+)//OH^(-) furnished per mole of acid/base n-factor of a reactant is number of moles electrons lost or gained per mole of reactant. Example 1: (1)In acidic medium : KMnO_(4) (n=5)to Mn^(2+) (2) In neutral medium : KMnO_(4)(n=3) to Mn^(2+) (3) In basic medium : KMnO_(4)(n=1) to Mn^(6+) Example 2 : FeC_(2)O_(4)to Fe^(3+)+2CO_(2) Total number of moles e^(-) lost by 1 mole of FeC_(2)O_(4) =1+1xx2 implies 3 Consider the following reaction. H_(3)PO_(2)+NaOH to NaH_(2)PO_(2)+H_(2)O What is the equivalent mass of H_(3)PO_(2) ?(mol.Wt.is M)

Read the passage given below and answer the question: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes. ATP is a nucleotide that consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine, the sugar, ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose. The phosphate tail of ATP is the actual power source which the cell taps. Available energy is contained in the bonds between the phosphates and is released when they are broken, which occurs through the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis). Usually only the outer phosphate is removed from ATP to yield energy, when this occurs ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the form of the nucleotide having only two phosphates. The importance of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the main source of chemical energy in living matter and its involvement in cellular processes has long been recognized. The primary mechanism whereby higher organisms, including humans, generate ATP is through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. For the majority of organs, the main metabolic fuel is glucose, which in the presence of oxygen undergoes complete combustion to CO_2 and H_2O : C_6H_(12)O_6 + 6O_2 rarr 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + "energy" The free energy (AG) liberated in this exergonic (AG is negative) reaction is partially trapped as ATP in two consecutive processes: glycolysis (cytosol) and oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondria). The first produces 2 mol of ATP per mol of glucose, and the second 36 mol of ATP per mol of glucose. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation yields 17-18 times as much useful energy in the form of ATP as can be obtained from the same amount of glucose by glycolysis alone. The efficiency of glucose metabolism is the ratio of amount of energy produced when 1 mol of glucose oxidised in cell to the enthalpy of combustion of glucose. The energy lost in the process is in the form of heat. This heat is responsible for keeping us warm. (source: Erecińska, M., & Silver, 1. A. (1989). ATP and Brain Function.

Calculating the amount of charge from the amount of product in an electrolysis: How many amperes must be passed through a Downs cell to produce sodium metal a rate of 30.0 Kg//h. Strategy : Producted through a sequence of conversion similar to that in worked Example 3.26 but in reverse order Na^(+1) + e^(-) rarr Na The electrode equation for sodium says that 1 mol Na is equiva-lent to 1 mole e^(-) . We can use this in the conversion of grams of Na . The Faraday constant (which says that one mole of electrons is equivalent to 9.65 xx 10^(4)C ) converts mole of electrons to cou-lombs. The conversions are g Na rarr mol Na rarr mol e^(-) rarr "coulombs" (C) The current in ampres (A) equals the charge in coulombs divided by the time in seconds.
