5. A triglyceride is reacted with methanol, CH₃OH, in the presence of concentrated KOH(aq). The products of this reaction are glycerol and Compound J.
The molecular formula of Compound J is C₁₉H₃₀0₂. What is the molecular formula of the triglyceride?
A. C₅₄H₈₂0₃
B. C₅₄H₈₂0₆
C. C₅₇H₈₄0₃
D. C₅₇H₈₆0₆

6. When the triglyceride, in question 5, is reacted with methanol to produce glycerol and Compound J
A. H₂O should be added to the KOH directly, because KOH is corrosive and causes skin burns.
B. H₂O should not be added to the reaction mixture because it interferes with the desired reaction.
C. H₂O should be added to separate the triglyceride from glycerol since the triglyceride is soluble in water.
D. H₂O should not be added to the reaction mixture because it increases the frequency of successful collisions.
