Question

waxes are the esters of fatty acids with high molecular weight is present in alcohols​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A wax ester (WE) is an ester of a fatty acidand a fatty alcohol. Wax esters comprise the main components of three commercially important waxes: carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and beeswax.

Wax esters are formed by combining one fatty acid with one fatty alcohol:

RCOOH + R'OH <=> RCOOR' + H2O

Various types of wax esters exist. Some are saturated, and others contain unsaturatedcenters. Saturated wax esters have higher melting points and are more likely to be solid at room temperature. Unsaturated wax esters have a lower melting point and are more likely to be liquid at room temperature. Both fatty acids and fatty alcohols may have of different carbon chain length. In the end, there are many different possible combinations of fatty acids and fatty alcohols and each combination will have a unique set of properties in terms of steric orientation and phase transition.
