Explanation / Answer

Oxygen gas is required for Fatty Acid combustion. The products are CO2 gas and water.

Part A

Balanced chemical equation for palmitic acid, C16H32O2

C16H32O2(s) + 23 O2(g) = 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)

Part B

Balanced chemical equation for Stearic acid, C18H36O2

C18H36O2 (s)+ 26 O2 (g)= 18 CO2 (g)+ 18 H2O (l)
