Question

give the equation for conversion of vegetable oil to vanaspati ghee.

Answer 1

Vegetable oil can be converted into vanspati ghee by the process of hydrogenation i.e.

Conversion of unsaturated hydrocarbons to saturated hydocarbon with the help of nickle cataylst....

As vegetable oils have long unsaturated carbon chains while animal fats have saturated hydrocarbon chain....

Chemical Equation:

R2-C=C-R2 → R2-CH-CH-R2

hope this helps you....

Answer 2

vegetable oil can be converted to vanaspathi by the process of hydrogenation.

vegetable oil (l) + H2(g) -------60°c and ni catalyst------→ vanaspathi ghee(s)
