How many milliliters of a 0.250 MNaOHMNaOH solution are needed to completely react with 500. gg of glyceryl tripalmitoleate (tripalmitolein)

Explanation:

For this question we have:

-) A solution NaOH 0.25 M

-) 500 g of glyceryl tripalmitoleate (tripalmitolein)

We can start with the reaction between NaOH and tripalmitolein. NaOH is a base and tripalmitolein is a triglyceride, therefore we will have a saponification reaction. The products of this reaction are glycerol and (E)-hexadec-9-enoate.

Now, with the reaction in mind, we can calculate the moles of NaOH that we need if we use the molar ratio between NaOH and tripalmitolein (3:1) and the molar mass of tripalmitolein (801.3 g/mol). So:

With the moles of NaOH we can calculate the volume (in litters) if we use the molarity equation and the Molarity value:

Now we can do the conversion to mL:

I hope it helps!

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.
