3. Certain fats are used to make soap, the first step being to react the fat with water to make glycerol (also known as glycerin) and compounds called fatty acids. One example is as follows: C3H5(00C(CH2)14CH3)3a fat+3H20-C3H5(OH)3glycerol+3CH3(CH2)14COOHfatty acid 3. How many moles of glycerol can be made from the reaction of 1,000.0 g of C3H5(OOC(CH2)14CH3)3? 3.
