Glycerol, also called glycerin or glycerine, is an organic compound. It is called this because it contains carbon molecules as seen through the formula C3H5(OH)3. Because carbon is such a common element and makes up so much of our chemical compositions it is called organic.

Is glycerin part of the periodic table?
Glycerol is an organic compound.
What organic chemical is composed of glycerol and three fatty acids?
A lipid is composed of glycerol and three fatty acids (usually long-chain).
Why are fats esters?
Organic acids react with alcohols to form an ester and water. Fats are made up of 3 molecules of carboxylic acids (organic acid) and 1 molecule of glycerol (alcohol). So fats are esters.
What group of organic compounds is fat in?
Fats can be classified in several ways. They are usually called triglycerides as they are esters of glycerol, which is systematically known as propane-1,2,3-triol.
What color is glycerol?
Glycerol is colorless.
Is Glycerol organic inorganic?
it is organic
do organic compounds include water calcium oxygen potassium or glycerol?
