Apparatus required: Oil sample, titration flask, burette, pipette, beaker, weighing balance.
Take 4-5 grams of given sample of oil in a titration flask. Add 50 ml of neutralized
alcohol in the titration flask , thoroughly mix it. Heat the contents of titration flask on water bath to boiling
temperature followed by the addition of 1% alcoholic solution of phenolphthalein. Titrate it against N/10
NaOH till pink colour which persist for about 10 seconds arises. . The boiling should be carried out very
slowly on oxidizing flame and titration is carried out at boiling point. The volume of N/10 NaOH is
noted down and take three readings.
Reactions:
RCOOH + NaOH → RCOONa + H2O
