Assume that the olive oil with which you began was pure glyceryl trioleate. What would be the theoretical yield of sodium oleate for the reaction?
How can we calculate the theoretical yield of sodium oleate. Which one is the limiting reagent if:
The preparation of soap:
0.5g of sodium hydroxide
2mL of distilled water
2mL of 95% ethanol
0.5g of olive oil
8mL of salt solution
