If aqueous acid were added to the isolated phosphatidyl choline and the mixture

Question

If aqueous acid were added to the isolated phosphatidyl choline and the mixture was heated, what type of reaction would occur? If aqueous strong base were added and the mixture was heated, what type od reaction would occur? (Two answers should not be the same term) If aqueous acid were added to the isolated phosphatidyl choline and the mixture was heated, what type of reaction would occur? If aqueous strong base were added and the mixture was heated, what type od reaction would occur? (Two answers should not be the same term) HO-CH2 HO-CH glycerol HO-CH2 palmitic acid (16:0) (a saturated fatty acid) OH (a triol) ester CH CH3 O-CH2-CH2-N- H3 O-CH (cis) CH oleic acid (18:149) (an unsaturated fatty acid) phosphoester p phosphoester CH 3 HO-P-OH HO-CH2-CH2-NCH phosphoric OH phosphatidyl choline acid choline H3 (a phospholipid) (an acohol, a quatemary ammonium cation)

Explanation / Answer

Hydrolysis in acid / base medium

Hydrolysis is acidic medium of isolated phosphatidyl choline would result in the formation of palmitic acid, glycerol and phosporic acid.

Hydrolysis is basic medium of isolated phosphatidyl choline would result in the formation of sodium salt of palmitic acid, glycerol and mono sodium salt of phosporic acid..
