Find the saponification value of an oil sample 1.5g refluxed with 25 ml of 0.5 N KOH required 15 ml of 0.5 N HCI for the residual titration. The blank titration reading was 25 ml of 0.5 N HCI.

Given:

Oil sample =1.5g

Normality of KOH=0.5N

Normality of HCl=0.5N

Blank tiration =25ml

Formula:

Saponification value(mg/g)=[(Blank level)-(Titration Volume)]×Normality of KOH×Equivalent weight of KOH

Solution:

Saponification value(mg/g)=[(25ml)(15ml)]×0.5N×561.5=10×0.5×561.5=2801.5=186.67

Therefore, Saponification value is 186.67
