Match each of the following statements with hydrogenation (A), Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis (B), Saponification (C) or Oxidation (D). I. ____ Glycerol is one of the products created. II. ____ C=O bonds are created in the process. III. ____ C=C bonds are converted to C–C bonds in the process. IV. ____ Salts of fatty acids are some of the products created.

this practice question it says, match each of the following statements with hydrogenation for a, acid catalyzed hydrolysis for b, saponification for c, or oxidation for d. Now, the first one says, glycerol is one of the products created. Now, Glycerol is a product when we deal with hydrolysis. Now, whether it be acidic hydrolysis or acetylized hydrolysis, enzymatic or saponification, a glycerol molecule will be one of our products. So this one is actually b and c together. Next, it says, carbonyl bonds, so c double bonded to o are created in the process. Here we're adding oxygen. If we're adding oxygen, at least from a biological aspect, that means we're undergoing oxidation. So here, this would be d. Next, we are changing carbon double bonded carbon bonds into carbon single bonded carbons in the process. So we're adding hydrogens in order to do this. So this would have to be hydrogenation. Then finally it says, salts of fatty acids are some of the products created. Now, acid catalyzed hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, and saponification all make glycerol as a product, but it's only saponification that makes salts of the fatty acids as another product. Here, this would be saponification which would be c. If I had said, fatty acids are some of the products created, then this would be acid catalyzed hydrolysis or enzymatic hydrolysis. Now, here we didn't put enzymatic hydrolysis as an option, that's because it makes the same products as acid catalyzed hydrolysis. The pathway may be different, but the end products are the same. Right. So this is how we describe each one of these statements in relation to a, b, c, and d when we talk about hydrogenation, acid catalyzed hydrolysis, saponification which is just basic hydrolysis, or oxidation.
