Glycerol is the 3-carbon alcohol, C3O3H8.
Glycerol: Molecular Formula: C3H5(OH)3
Glycerol is an organic compound, also commonly called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol substructure is a central component of many lipids. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.

Is iodine soluble in glycerol?
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.
What is the size of a glycerol molecule in Angstroms?
The radius of a glycerol molecule is about 4.35 angstroms.
Write balanced equations for the transfer hydrogenation of pure glycerol trioleate with cyclohexene and with ammonium formate as the hydrogen sources?
2 glycerol trioleate + 3 cyclohexene -> 3 benzene + 2 glycerol triesterate 1 glycerol trioleate + 3 ammonium formate -> 3 NH3 + 3 CO2 + 1 glycerol triesterate +

What elements are used to make a fat molecule?
The elements in a fat molecule is three fatty acid molecules wrapped around glycerol. The hydrocarbon chain is hydrophobic and will not dissolve in water.
What is the contituent elements of fats?
Fat constitute elements that are chemical (organic solvents) that are in general insoluble in water .Chemically, fats are triglycerides of glycerol and other sevral fatty acids.
