    Experiment 4 - Extraction and Properties of Lipids (Prelab)

    Uploaded by

    DANVER DUMALE
    This document contains questions about lipids and their properties as part of a pre-laboratory activity for an experiment on the extraction and properties of lipids. The questions cover topics like the definition and sources of lipids, their functions, the difference between fats and oils, how drying oils dry, principles of common lipid tests like the acrolein and Liebermann-Burchard tests, and physical and chemical fat constants and their significance. The goal is to assess the student's understanding of key concepts that will be relevant to the upcoming experiment.
