Unfortunately, I've never heard of a "brutto formula", so I may not be able to help you there -- unless you teach me.
Myrstic acid is
The trimystrin molecule is three of these carboxylic acids with ester linkages to a glycerol group. The ester links will hydrolyze like this:
to form the original carboxylic acid and an alcohol (glycerol).
So, that's how the hydrolysis works. You'll have to figure out the "brutto formula" part.
