This video illustrates how to do a titration using our mini-titration kit.
To titrate:
1) Add 10 mL Isopropyl Alcohol
2) Add 1 mL Oil
3) Add 2-3 Drops Phenolphthalein
4) Mix Together
5) Slowly Add Titration Solution
6) Stop When It Turns Purple
7) Measure How Much Titration Solution Was Used
Add That Number To The Base For The Catalyst You’re Using
9) Result Identifies How Many Grams Per Liter Of Oil Are Required To Produce Biodiesel From The Oil Titrated
Example:
100 liters of oil
Titration Yielded 5
KOH Is Being Used
KOH’s Base Is 7
5 + 7 = 12 Grams
100 x 12 = 1200 Grams Required To React 100 Liters Of Oil
