Saponification value Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Saponification value?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
SV=Mw(Vb-Va)NWs
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
SV=56.11g/mol(20mL-10mL)0.51.5g
Next Step Convert Units
SV=0.0561kg/mol(2E-5-1E-5)0.50.0015kg
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
SV=0.0561(2E-5-1E-5)0.50.0015
Next Step Evaluate
SV=0.000187033333333333kg
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
SV=0.187033333333333g
LAST Step Rounding Answer
SV=0.187g

Saponification value Formula Elements

Variables
Saponification Value
The saponification value is the amount of potassium hydroxide (KOH) required to saponify a certain quantity of fat or oil.
Symbol: SV
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 blank
The Volume of blank solution represents the volume of the blank solution of the base (potassium hydroxide, KOH) required for the titration.
Symbol: Vb
Measurement: VolumeUnit: mL
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Volume of Actual solution
The Volume of Actual solution is the volume of the test solution of the base (KOH) required for the titration.
Symbol: Va
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 Saponification value?

Saponification value evaluator uses Saponification Value = Molecular weight of KOH*(Volume of blank-Volume of Actual solution)*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken to evaluate the Saponification Value, The Saponification value formula measures to determine the average molecular weight of fatty acids in a chemical compound or mixture, typically fats and oils. It's an important parameter in industries related to oils, fats, and soaps. Saponification Value is denoted by SV symbol.

How to evaluate Saponification value using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Saponification value, enter Molecular weight of KOH (Mw), Volume of blank (Vb), Volume of Actual solution (Va), Normality of solution (N) & Weight of sample taken (Ws) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Saponification value

What is the formula to find Saponification value?
The formula of Saponification value is expressed as Saponification Value = Molecular weight of KOH*(Volume of blank-Volume of Actual solution)*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken. Here is an example- 187.0333 = 0.05611*(2E-05-1E-05)*0.5/0.0015.
How to calculate Saponification value?
With Molecular weight of KOH (Mw), Volume of blank (Vb), Volume of Actual solution (Va), Normality of solution (N) & Weight of sample taken (Ws) we can find Saponification value using the formula - Saponification Value = Molecular weight of KOH*(Volume of blank-Volume of Actual solution)*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken.
Can the Saponification value be negative?
Yes, the Saponification value, measured in Weight can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Saponification value?
Saponification value is usually measured using the Gram[g] for Weight. Kilogram[g], Milligram[g], Ton (Metric)[g] are the few other units in which Saponification value can be measured.
