A certain plant material is known to contain mainly trimyristin and tripalmitin in approximately equal amounts. Tripalmitin, the structure of which you should look up in a reference source, has mp 66-67 degrees Celsius. Extraction of these two compounds from the plant material with diethyl ether gave an oil after removal of the solvent, and this oil was difficult to crystallize. Explain this result. (Hint: consider the effect of an impurity on observed melting points)
