Over time, as their free fatty acid (FFA) content increases, edible fats and oils become rancid. To measure rancidity, the fat o

r oil is dissolved in ethanol, and any FFA present is titrated with KOH dissolved in ethanol. In a series of tests on olive oil, a stock solution of 0.050 M ethanolic KOH was prepared at 25°C, stored at 0°C, and then placed in a 100-mL buret to titrate oleic acid [an FFA with formula CH₃(CH₂)₇CH w CH(CH₂)₇COOH] in the oil. Each of four 10.00-g samples of oil took several minutes to titrate: the first required 19.60 mL, the second 19.80 mL, and the third and fourth 20.00 mL of the ethanolic KOH.
(a) What is the apparent acidity of each sample, in terms of mass % of oleic acid? (Note: As the ethanolic KOH warms in the buret, its volume increases by a factor of 0.00104/°C.)

By titrating any acid against a standardized alkali solution, the perceived acidity of the substance is determined. It is difficult to evaluate the exact acidity or strength of long chain fatty acids like oleic acid. Since alcohol is a polar substance that long chain fatty acids are soluble in, it is used as a solvent to dissolve fatty acids, and its acidity is consequently determined by titrating it against an alcoholic potassium hydoxide solution.

<h3>What is apparent acidity?</h3>

Fresh milk reacts with an acid due to its alleged apparent acidity. It is now generally accepted that it is caused by the carbon dioxide, acid phosphates, and casein present in fresh milk, all of which have an acidic nature.

<h3>What is oleic acid?</h3>

Various animal and vegetable fats and oils naturally include the fatty acid oleic acid. It is an odorless, colorless oil, however commercial examples may be yellowish. Oleic acid, whose lipid number is 18:1 cis-9, is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid according to chemical classification.

The lab procedure mentions that not all of the oxone may dissolve after being added to the water because the water may be satura
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is (C) There are more solute molecules than water molecules.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can be dissolved or disintegrated into the solvent. When or if the ozone  stops being dissolved in the water, it implies that the water has already taken on more ozone molecules than it can contain, meaning there are more solute molecules (ozone molecules) than there are solvent molecules (water molecules).

Calculate the theoretical yield for the bromination of both stilbenes
podryga [215]

Answer:

cinnamic acid - 150 mg

cis-stilbene - 100 μL

trans- stilbene - 100 mg

pyridinium tribromide - 200-385 mg

For this data:

moles of cinnamic acid = 0.150 g/148.16 g/mol = 0.001 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.001 mol x 307.97 g/mol = 0.312 g

cis-stilbene (100 ul = 0.1 ml)

moles of cis-stilbene = 0.1 ml x 1.01 g/mol/180.25 g/mol = 0.00056 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.00056 mol x 340.05 g/mol = 0.19 g

trans-stilbene

moles of tran-stilbene = 0.1 g/180.25 g/mol = 0.00055 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.00055 mol x 340.05 g/mol = 0.19 g

Determine the work done by an ideal gas while expanding by a volume of 0.25 L against an external pressure of 1.50 atm (assume a
Sliva [168]

Answer : The value of work done by an ideal gas is, 37.9 J

Explanation :

Formula used :

Expansion work = External pressure of gas × Volume  of gas

Expansion work = 1.50 atm × 0.25 L

Expansion work = 0.375 L.atm

Conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Expansion work = 0.375 × 101.3 = 37.9 J

Therefore, the value of work done by an ideal gas is, 37.9 J

g In Part 7, the [Cl-] in saturated NaCl is 5.4 M at room temperature. Assume that you had 1.00 ml of the saturatedsolution, and
trapecia [35]

Answer:

7.60 M

Explanation:

Our method to solve this question is to  use the definition of molarity (M) concentration which is the number of moles per liter of solution, so for this problem we have

[Cl⁻] = # mol Cl⁻ / Vol

Now the number of moles of Cl⁻ will be sum of Cl in the 1.00 mL 5.4 M solution plus the moles of Cl⁻ in the 0.50 mL 12 M H . Since the volume in liters times the molarity gives us the number of moles we will have previous conversion of volume to liters for units consistency:

1mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.001 L

0.5 mL x 1L/1000 mL = 0.0005 L

[Cl⁻]  =  0.001 L x 5.4 mol/L + 0.0005L x 12 mol/L / ( 0.001 L + 00005 L )

= 7.6 M

This is the same as the statement given in the question.
