Palmitic acid is one of fatty acids found in butter. It is a saturated fattyacid containing 16 carbon atoms. A student performed the reactionbetween palmitic acid and methanol in the presence of acid catalyst togive the corresponding ester.1. Draw the reaction occurred in this experiment!2. Given that enthalpy of formation palmitic acid, methylpalmitate, methanol and water are -764, -726, -238, -285KJ/mol, respectively. Determine the enthalpy of the reaction!3. Methyl palmitate can be utilized as a starting material in theproduction of soap through saponification reaction. Draw thereaction occurred in this process!
