A 2.067 g of macrogol monostearate (average molecular weight 706. 5) was added to a 200 ml flask and 25 ml of an ethanolic solution of potassium hydroxide (molecular weight 56.11, ca 0.5 M) was added. The sample was heated under a reflux condenser for 1 hour. The excess of alkali was then titrated with 0.5126 M hydrochloric acid using phenolphthalein solution as an indicator. The operation was repeated without the macrogol monostearate.

Question

A 2.067 g of macrogol monostearate (average molecular weight 706. 5) was added to a 200 ml flask and 25 ml of an ethanolic solution of potassium hydroxide (molecular weight 56.11, ca 0.5 M) was added. The sample was heated under a reflux condenser for 1 hour. The excess of alkali was then titrated with 0.5126 M hydrochloric acid using phenolphthalein solution as an indicator. The operation was repeated without the macrogol monostearate.

Results

Volume of HCI required to titrate the excess alkali = 18.35 ml

Volume of HCI required to titrate the blank = 24.03 ml

Calculate the saponification value for the macrogol stearate.
