1.PROBLEMS ON SAPONIFICATION
VALUE:
A. 2.0 gm of an oil is saponified with 30ml of N/2 alcoholic
potassium hydroxide solution. After refluxing the
mixture it requires 25 ml of N/2 HCl solution. Find
saponification value of the oil.
Ans- Saponification value=Volume of KOH
consumed*NKOH*56/Weight of the oil
= (30-25)*0.5*56/2.0
=7.0 mgs of KOH

B. 3 gms of lubricant was saponified with KOH


solution.After saponification,the mixture was titrated
against 0.5N HCl solution. The burrete reading was
found to be 12ml. if blank titration burrete reading was
36ml.calculate the saponification number of the
lubricant.
Ans - - Saponification value=Volume of KOH
consumed*NKOH*56/Weight of the oil
=(36-12)*28/3
=224 mgs of KOH
(as NKOH not given,assume it to be 1)

2.4 PROBLEMS ON ACID VALUE:


A. 2.5 gms of an oil sample required 2.5ml of N/100 KOH
to neutralize fatty acids in oil.
Find the acid value of the sample.
Ans Acid value= Volume of KOH
consumed*NKOH*56/Weight of the oil
=2.5*0.01*56/2.5
=0.56Mgs of KOH
B. Find the acid value of a vegetable oil whose 5ml
required 2ml of N/100 KOH during titration. Density of
oil=0.92
Ansi. Wt of oil=Density*volume
=0.92*5=4.60gms
ii. Acid value= Volume of KOH
consumed*NKOH*56/Weight of the oil
=2*0.01*56/4.45=0.236mg of KOH
C. An oil blend was analysed for its acid value 5ml of oil
required 2.5ml N/100 KOH. Find its acidic value. State
whether the blend is useful for lubrication(density
=0.89)
Ansi. Wt of oil=Density*volume
=5*0.89=4.45gms
ii. Acid value= Volume of KOH
consumed*NKOH*56/Weight of the oil
=2.5*0.01*56/4.45=0.315mg of KOH
As this value is greater than 0.1,it cannot be used
for lubrication.
