(C) ACID VALU!
Principle - The oil is dissolved in an appropriate solvent , after the solution is
titrated with sodium hydroxide solution. The amount of sodium hydroxide soln.
Consumed is a measure of the acidity of an oil.
Weigh 2.0gm accurately oil sample in at least 50,0ml of neutral solvent:
The soln. thoroughly mixed and stirring , then titrated with 0.1 N NaoH soln.
Using 2.0ml of phenolphthalein indicator. The end point was reached when pink colour.
The Acid value is calculated by following formula,
Acid Value = VxNxFx 56.1
Ww
Where V:- Volume of Std. NaOH Soin.
N:- Normality of NaOH Soin.
W:- Weight of oil sample
Reagents :-
(1) Solvent :- Mix equal volumes of 96% Ethanol and Toluene . Neutralize shortly
before use. C Methomat aud Tehacne )
2) 0.10N NaOH soln, :- Weigh 4.0gm accurately A, R. grade NaOH pellets in DM water.
Cool it then make up one liter.
(3) Phenoiphthalein indicator :- Wt. 1.0gm of indicator and dissolve it in 96 % Ethanol.
Make up 100ml with ethanol.
