A chemist compares four different fats to determine their average molecular mass. Which fat will exhibit the highest saponification value during titration?
Q1. A chemist compares four different fats to determine their average molecular mass. Which fat will exhibit the highest saponification value during titration?
Answer: Tributyrin
Explanation: Higher saponification values indicate shorter fatty acid chains. Stearic acid is tempting but has a longer chain and lower value.
