Answer:
1. Combustion of Organic Fuels
- Combustion is the process of burning an organic compound in oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. In combustion analysis, a sample of known mass is combusted, and the resulting carbon dioxide and water vapor are captured and weighed. Just about any molecule with some hydrocarbon can combust. Combustion involves the oxidation of the carbon in an organic molecule. The fuels that are burned on a large scale to provide energy for heat or electricity include the fossil fuels: natural gas, petröleum products, and coal.
2. Saponification of Fats
- Saponification is a process that involves the conversion of fat, oil, or lipid, into soap and alcohol by the action of aqueous alkali (e.g. NaOH). Soaps are salts of fatty acids, which in turn are carboxylic acids with long carbon chains. Vegetable oils and animal fats are fatty esters in the form of triglycerides. The alkali breaks the ester bond and releases the fatty acid salt and glycerol. If necessary, soaps may be precipitated by salting out with saturated sodium chloride.
