Explanation: Saponification reaction is a reaction in which hydrolysis of fats takes place under basic conditions giving glycerol and a salt of corresponding fatty acid.
We are given a Fatty acid called as Trimyristin.
Its reaction with KOH leads to the formation of soap and is given by the equation:
[tex]Trimyristin+3 KOH\rightarrow Glycerol+Soap[/tex]
[tex]C_{45}H_{86}O_6+3KOH\rightarrow C_3H_5(OH)_3+3CH_3(CH_2)_{12}CO_2K[/tex]
The condensed structural formula for the equation is given in the image attached.
