1. Olive oil has a saponification value of 190 mg KOH per gram. This means that it takes 190 mg of potassium hydroxide to react completely with 1 g of olive oil.
(a) What is the mole ratio for the reaction of a triglyceride with KOH?
(b) Divide 0.190 g of KOH by its molar mass to calculate the number of moles of KOH that will react with 1 g of olive oil.
(c) Use the answers to (a) and (b) to determine the number of moles corresponding to 1 g of olive oil. Divide 1 g by this number of moles to calculate the average molar mass (g/mole) of olive oil.

1) Explain why there are so few metallic materials with one-dimensional bands. Naming and describe the type of distortion responsible for this.
2) Why are the superconducting critical temperatures of conventional superconductors often highest when the material has the apparently contradictory features of having strong bonds but poor orbital overlap between atoms associated with the conduction band?

calculate the mole fraction of a fractional distillation? How do I find the mole fractions of different distillations given only the refractive index, the temperature and which the distillation was acquired, and the makeup on the original solution before distillation?
the lab manual says to use P= (px * mol frac x)+(py * mol frac y)
but i don't know how I can find their partial pressure given that I don't know their mole fractions of the distillation since partial P=mole frac * vapor pressure.

Calculate Percent Yield:
Palm oil was used for the creation of soap. The mass of the oil was 2.001 grams. The base used was 3 M of NaOH. After the experiment, the mass of the soap was 1.622 grams. What is the percent yield?
The average molar mass of the palm oil is 847.3 grams per mol. The average molar mass of the soap is 291.7 grams per mol. 3 mL of the base (NaOH) was used.

The Keq for the conversion of A to B is 1.15 x 10-3. the Keq for the hydrolysis of ATP to Pi and ADP is 2.24 x 105. the net conversion of A to B cannot take place if the molar ratio of B to A is greater than or equal to 1.15 x 10-3. However, A can be converted to B if the reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. Please explain and show any work!

In an experiment to study the reactivity of Sn(s), Ga(s), Be(s), and Pd(s), the following reactions were observed:
2 Ga(s) + 3 Sn2+(aq) -> 3 Sn(s) + 2 Ga3+(aq)
Ga(s) + Be2+(aq) -> (No evidence of reaction)
Sn(s) + Pd2+(aq) -> Pd(s) + Sn2+(aq)
Then the question lists all of the metals and their respective ions:
1. Sn(s) 2. Ga(s) 3. Be(s) 4. Pd(s) 5. Ga3+(aq) 6. Sn2+(aq) 7. Be2+(aq) 8. Pd2+(aq)
So I need to list out the following:
The oxidizing agents from strongest to weakest
The reducing agents from strongest to weakest
I have tried to answer this question using my provided "Table of Selected Standard Electrode Potentials", however, I can only find one metal and its respective ions, Se, in the table.
Would someone be able to explain how I can answer this question when the aforementioned substances aren't on the table? It would be greatly appreciated.
