Glycerol is a transparent, colorless liquid.
Glycerol is singular. The noun glycerol is an uncountable (mass) noun, a word for a substance.
The two types of reactions that convert glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate are glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Glycerol kinase phosphorylates glycerol to form glycerol-3-phosphate, which is then oxidized by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to produce dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
The reaction between glycerol and acetic acid forms glycerol acetate and water. This reaction is an esterification process, where the hydroxyl groups of glycerol react with the carboxyl group of acetic acid to form the ester glycerol acetate.
To prepare an 80% glycerol solution, you would mix 80 parts glycerol with 20 parts water. For example, you could mix 80 mL of glycerol with 20 mL of water to make 100 mL of an 80% glycerol solution. Make sure to thoroughly mix the glycerol and water until the solution is homogenous.
