This is for my biodiesel lab- This is a biodiesel synthesis... we are using vegetable oil in a trans-esterification reaction. 100%pure vegetable oil + CH3OH --> biodiesel (NaOH) is above the reaction arrow. We stir 2mL of methoxide solution in a beaker for 20 minutes. The reaction has CH3OH as reactant and NaOH as condition (written on the top of the arrow). This step uses sodium methoxide. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP? Also, for glycerol and methyl ester (biodiesel)- WHAT PROPERTIES...

Suppose you add a solution of calcium hydroxide to a solution of sodium carbonate and a precipitate forms. You measure the total amount of the precipitate (in g) as a function of time. At time 0, 20.0 s, 40.0 s and 60.0 s you get a cumulative weight of 0.00 g, 4.82 g, 6.33 g and 8.49 g of the precipitate, respectively. What is the average rate of reaction between 40 and 60 seconds in mol/s? Enter a numerical value...

LAB Discussion: Why is it important to add a solevent to a solid during recrystalization and not the other way around? Why is the melting point of a mixture of two different compounds lower and broader than the melting point of a pure compound? Why would a percent recovery be lower when measuring the weight of the recrystalized over the impure ratio? I got 73 perecent recovery
