Accepted Answer

Hello everyone today with the fond problem, which specific reaction is depend below hydrogenation verification, sub substitution or hydrolysis. So if we just quickly describe what each reaction is starting with hydrogenation, this involves adding hydrogen gas across an alkene. It can also be added across an alky, but it's used to reduce a molecule. There's also s stir application which as its name suggests involves forming an ester. So forming ester using carboxylic acids and alcohols. There's use of po application and saponification involves ester hydrolysis. So, hydrolysis of ester's using a base and this essentially forms an alcohol in a carboxylate salt, there is then substitution which as the name suggests involves replacing a group or Adam for another. And then there is hydrolysis which as its name suggests refers to bond cleavage or cleaving a bond using water. And so if we analyze the reactants and products in this reaction, we see that this reactant is a Triglycerin that is reacting with potassium hydroxide, which is a strong base in the presence of heat, which is what that delta symbol represents. And in our products, we have glycerol, which is an alcohol and we have three carboxylate salts. And so this reaction is best aligned with so modification and with that, we have solved the problem overall, I hope it's hoped. And until next time.
