Which of the following compounds is formed on catalytic hydrogenolysis of triolein?
Correct answer: D. Tristearin
- A. Oleic acid
- B. Glycerol
- C. Stearic acid
- D. Tristearin
Explanation
Hydrogenolysis is a chemical reaction that involves the cleavage or breaking of chemical bonds in a molecule using hydrogen gas (H2) in the presence of a suitable catalyst.Catalysts commonly used in hydrogenolysis reactions include metals such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), nickel (Ni), and other transition metals.When hydrogen adds to all of the double bonds of glyceryl trioleate (triolein) using a nickel catalyst, the product is the saturated fat glyceryl tristearate (tristearin).

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
