Q

calculate iodine number of linoleic acid, C17H31COOH.

A

Molecular weight of linoleic acid = 18(12) + 32(1) + 2(16) = 280 g /mol

Molecular weight of iodine = 2(127) = 254 g/mol

Linoleic acid has 2 double bonds per molecule (from last problem).

280 grams of fat reacts with 2 x 254 g of iodine = 508 g iodine

100 grams of fat reacts with 508/280 = 181

Q

0.01 moles of linoleic acid reacts with 5.1 g of iodine. Determine the number of double bonds present in the fatty acid.

A

Moles iodine = (5.1 grams)(1 mole iodine / 254 grams of iodine) = 0.020 moles I2
This implies a ratio of 0.01 mol linoleic acid : 0.020 mole I2

Saponification value = 56.1 × (B – S) × normality of HCl / g of sample B = mL of HCl required by blank to reach phenolphthalein endpoint. S = mL of HCl required by sample to reach phenolphthalein endpoint. Molecular weight of KOH = 56.1

how is margarine made?
High polyunsaturated content and low-to-zero trans-acid containing margarines are produced by interesterifying a blend of liquid oil and a fully hydrogenated oil. Mixture is fed into a scraped-surface heat exchanger, which partially solidifies the material. Product may be tempered to allow for crystallization in a manner that gives good plasticity and spreadability.
