Document Summary
Experiment 8 hydrolysis of an unknown ester + study of fats. Ester is usually in high amounts (more favoured). ding water could push reaction forward (le chatelier"s) but esters are insoluble in water. Carboxylic acid immediately reacts with base to give a carboxylate and alcohol. The neutralization equivalent is the quantity of ester (in grams) that reacts with an equivalent of base (in moles) When mono-esters are hydrolyzed, the neutralization equivalent = molar mass. Known mass of ester reacts with excess base (known molarity) Find moles of base that is left via titration. This is = to the moles of ester (1:1 ratio) Use mass and moles of ester to find molar mass (neutralization equivalent) Distillation: used when there is a large difference between the boiling points of two compounds in solution (ex; in a solution of methanol and an ester, you can distill the methanol to separate it) Unsaturated fats are commonly soft/liquid because of hindered stacking (weaker imfs)
