Correct answer: 909
- Identify product from the reaction sequence
The statement says glycerol reacts completely with excess in presence of acid catalyst to form .
This indicates that must be a carboxylic acid, because glycerol undergoes esterification with carboxylic acids to form a triester.
In the chapter context (hydrocarbons), the common oxidation product leading to such a carboxylic acid is stearic acid: Then glycerol forms the triglyceride:
- Reaction of with NaOH
A triglyceride on alkaline hydrolysis gives glycerol + sodium salts of fatty acids:
Then with :
So, from 3 moles of sodium stearate, moles of calcium soap formed are:
Thus, from 1 mole of :
- Molar mass of calcium stearate
Formula:
Now calculate molar mass:
For one stearate ion :
For two stearate ions:
Add calcium:
So,
- Mass of formed from 1 mole of
- Final answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
