Have you ever been on a vacation? To me a vacation is a time to be with friends or family. When I think of vacations, I think of packing, the flight or drive, and relaxation. Not only is it very exciting to go on a vacation, but you get closer to the people that go with you. Linda, my best friend's mom had asked me if I would want to go with their family to Florida.

The purpose of this experiment is to isolate myristic acid from the triglyceride, trimyristin, by using basic hydrolysis followed by acidification. First, tert-butyl methyl ether is utilized to extract the trimyristin and recrystallize from acetone to yield pure trimyristin. Sodium hydroxide, water, and ethanol are utilized to convert trimyristin to glycerol and sodium myristate. Finally, hydrogen chloride and water are applied to convert sodium myristate to myristic acid via hydrolysis. This experiment
