Draw the structure of beeswax. beeswax is made from the esterfication of a saturated 16-carbon fatty acid and a 30 carbon straight chain primary alcohol.

Triacontyl palmitate

Explanation:

In this case, we have a reaction between an acid and an alcohol. When we put together these kind of compounds an ester is produced. This reaction is called "esterification".

In our case, the alcohol is a structure with 30 carbon in which the "OH" group is bonded on carbon 1. The name of this compound is "n-triacontanol". The acid is a structure in which we have 16 carbon in which the "COOH" group is placed on carbon 1. The name of this compound is "palmitic acid". The ester produced by the acid and the alcohol is "Triacontyl palmitate".

See figure 1.

I hope it helps!

i believe the answer is three water molecules
