16
Q

which part of triesters are carboxylic acid residues?

A

the long chains

17
Q

what are the properties of carboxylic acid residues in triesters?

A

usually unbranched hydrocarbon chains

usually an even number of carbon atoms

can be saturated or unsaturated

often not the same on each of the three ester links

18
Q

what is the significance of the carboxylic acid residues in triesters?

A

they determine the properties of the triester

19
Q

how do carboxylic acid residues determine the properties of triesters?

A

saturated = higher mtp, unsaturated = lower mtp

hydrophobic because they are long and unpolar

20
Q

why do unsaturated triesters have lower melting points?

A

the double bonds in the chains weakens the id-id bonds as they bend the chain so each chain is further apart from other chains

21
Q

what are the reaction conditions for the hydrolysis of triesters?

A

heat with conc NaOH
