Question

The fats and oils required for manufacturing soap are extracted from the plants and animals. To make the fatty acids called triglyceride molecule, 3 fatty acid molecules are bonded to 1 molecule of glycerine. Fatty acids are weak acids composed of 2 parts. A carboxylic acid group having 1 hydrogen atom, 2 oxygen atoms, and 1 carbon atom and a hydrocarbon chain attached to the carboxylic acid group. Earlier the alkali required for making soaps were obtained from the animals but now they are clinically composed. The common alkalis used in soap making are sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. How are atoms in “Acid” functional group bonded together?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28.[1] Fatty acids are usually not found in organisms in their standalone form, but instead exist as three main classes of esters: triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters. In any of these forms, fatty acids are both important dietary sources of fuel for animals and they are important structural components for cells.
