1)Let’s say that you recovered 80% trimyristin (after recrystallization, so the final product) from the 2 g of nutmeg you initially started with.
a) If you completed the hydrolysis reaction (see lab) to make myristic acid and glycerol, what would be your theoretical yield of myristic acid?
b) If you recovered 1.72 g of myristic acid, what would be your percent recovery of myristic acid?
c) What might account for sources of error in your recovery?(Give 3 plausible reasons)
(c) The following factors contorl the yield of chemcial reaction
