Fats, such as butter, and oils, such as corn oil, are formed from compounds called fatty acids, one of which is linolenic acid (C18H300₂). Linolenic acid undergoes reactions with hydrogen and oxygen to form the products shown in each equation. [1] C18H30 0₂ + H₂ → C18H3602 linjenic acid [2] C18H300₂ + O₂ CO₂ + H₂O linolenic acid a. Balance Equation [1], which shows the reaction with hydrogen. b. How many grams of product are formed from 87.0 g of linolenic acid in Equation [1]? C18H360₂
