Introduction:
Water is released as a product in fatty acid oxidation (beta oxidation reactions). Therefore, beta oxidation provides a mean of water production for camels. Hump of the camel store a large amount of fatty acids and oxidizes releasing water.
Explanation of Solution
If the all the triglycerides are formed by palmitic acid, the palmitic acid percentage in triglycerides,
Triglyceride is formed by one glycerol molecule with three palmetic acid molecules with the exclusion of three water molecules.
Where MW is molecular weight.
Beta oxidation of one mole of palmitate produces 130 moles of water.
Therefore, the water moles produced in beta oxidation in this case =
Produced water weight =
Produced water volume =
