The average density of canola oil is 0.92g/mL and the average density of biodiesel is 0.88g/mL. Compare the densities of the biodiesel and the vegetable oil to the literature values. Does this support you making biodiesel? Explain. m the experiment: OOkeee eave Tro Visual separation of reactants and products into two layers Density measurements . Viscosity measurements .

Consider following chemical reaction for the combustion of a fuel such as biodiesel in a diesel combustion engine: a C8H17COOCH3 + b O2 yields c CO2 + d H2O, where a, b, c, and d are integer stoichiometric coefficients. A) Balance the above chemical reaction using the smallest integer stoichiometric coefficients and clearly write the balanced chemical reaction. B) Using the stoichiometric coefficients determined in part A), calculate the theoretical molar stoichiometric air to fuel ratio, assuming that there is...
In fasting or starvation, how are the triglycerides in the adipose tissue metabolized to produce fuel? The breakdown of the triglyceride results in the release of the glycerol into the liver which then can be converted to enter gluconeogenesis making glucose. What about the fatty acids that are released from the triglyceride. Do they become ketones? If so, how and how are the ketones used as fuel?
1.What is the significance of the acid number when using waste vegetable oil to synthesize biodiesel via base-catalyzed transesterification (waste vegetable oil acid number)? 2. how the precision of the instrument in a nonaqueous media in Biodiesel experiment (waste vegetable oil acid number)?
1. Suppose the market for canola oil is perfectly competitive. There are 1.000 firms in the market, each of which have a fixed cost of FC = 2 and a marginal cost of MC = 1 + q, where q is the quantity produced by an individual firm. Let Q. denote the total quantity supplied in the market. The market demand for canola oil is given by Qd = 15, 250 - 250P. a) Find the market supply equation, that...

Problem 3: Land footprint of biofuels You are attempting to create transportation fuel in Tempe, AZ on one acre (4,047 m2) of land. You have the option to grow corn, safflower (an oil seed crop that can be dry farmed), or switchgrass. The corn can be used to produce ethanol, the safflower to produce biodiesel and the switchgrass could be used to produce ethanol, diesel or electricity. The yields for the crops and each conversion process is given in the...
Experiment #6: Saponification of Wintergreen Oil 1.) Draw a reaction mechanism for the conversion of wintergreen oil into salicylic acid. 2. ) If you wanted to take an IR spectrum to confirm that the reaction worked, what would you look for in the spectrum? 3.) It is also possible to hydrolyze an ester under acidic conditions. Draw a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed conversion of wintergreen oil to salicylic acid.
ead use ofT biodlesel fuel using this synthetic method. Prelab 1 Caicuiate the molar mass of potassium hydroxide, KOH 2. Approximately 5.9 g of KOH is needed to catalyze the transesterification process for 1L of oil to biodiesel. Calculate the mass of KOH needed to convert 100 mL of oil to biodiesei. 3. Convert the mass of KOH determined in (2) above to moles. 4. What volume of methanol needs to be added to this many moles of KOH to...
Lab 12: Saponification – Making Soap Objective: To make soap using the process call saponification, an organic form of the neutralization reaction that an acid reacts with a base to form a salt. Introduction: A soap is the sodium or potassium salt of a long chained carbohydrate called a fatty acid. A fatty acid usually contains between 12 – 18 carbon atoms. Fatty acids are esters of either animal or vegetable fats. They are called triglycerides if they are solids at room...
