Acid Value of KOH Formula Elements

Variables
Acid Value
The acid value is a measure of the amount of acidic substances, particularly free fatty acids, present in a fat or oil sample.
Symbol: AV
Measurement: WeightUnit: g
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Molecular weight of KOH
The Molecular weight of KOH is the sum of the atomic weights of all the atoms in the fatty acids or esters in the fat or oil sample.
Symbol: Mw
Measurement: Molar MassUnit: g/mol
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Volume of solution koh
The Volume of solution koh is the volume of the standardized potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution required to neutralize the acidic substances in the fat or oil sample.
Symbol: V
Measurement: VolumeUnit: mL
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Normality of solution
The Normality of solution is a concentration unit that indicates the number of equivalent weights of a substance present in one liter of solution.
Symbol: N
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Weight of sample taken
The Weight of sample taken is the weight of the fat or oil sample that is being analyzed. It is measured in grams (g).
Symbol: Ws
Measurement: WeightUnit: g
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Acid Value of KOH?

Acid Value of KOH evaluator uses Acid Value = Molecular weight of KOH*Volume of solution koh*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken to evaluate the Acid Value, Acid Value of KOH formula is defined as the amount of alkali required to completely neutralize acidic substances, particularly free fatty acids, present in a fat or oil sample. Acid Value is denoted by AV symbol.

How to evaluate Acid Value of KOH using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Acid Value of KOH, enter Molecular weight of KOH (Mw), Volume of solution koh (V), Normality of solution (N) & Weight of sample taken (Ws) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Acid Value of KOH

What is the formula to find Acid Value of KOH?
The formula of Acid Value of KOH is expressed as Acid Value = Molecular weight of KOH*Volume of solution koh*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken. Here is an example- 280.55 = 0.05611*1.5E-05*0.5/0.0015.
How to calculate Acid Value of KOH?
With Molecular weight of KOH (Mw), Volume of solution koh (V), Normality of solution (N) & Weight of sample taken (Ws) we can find Acid Value of KOH using the formula - Acid Value = Molecular weight of KOH*Volume of solution koh*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken.
Can the Acid Value of KOH be negative?
Yes, the Acid Value of KOH, measured in Weight can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Acid Value of KOH?
Acid Value of KOH is usually measured using the Gram[g] for Weight. Kilogram[g], Milligram[g], Ton (Metric)[g] are the few other units in which Acid Value of KOH can be measured.
