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
cloves are specifically used in hair care as cloves can “refresh worn out color, prevent hair loss and thicken the hair.

This experiment is based on being able to properly isolate/purify trimyristin from nutmeg and synthesize myristic acid from trimyristin. Liquid-solid extraction and recrystallization are the techniques used to isolate/purify the trimyristin from nutmeg. Base hydrolysis is the technique used to synthesize the myristic acid from trimyristin. Isolating trimyristin from nutmeg is considered natural product chemistry. Natural product chemistry involves isolating organic compounds from living things, such
3.2.3 GANDHAGAM Sulphur is a chemical element that is represented with the chemical symbol "S" and the atomic number 16 on the periodic table. Because it is 0.0384% of the Earth's crust, Sulphur is the seventeenth most abundant element following strontium.
