Abstract This lab is designed to enhance students understanding of organic reactions. This lab explores the role of IMFs in relationship to the substances characteristics. Through this lab, students are able to comprehend the chemistry of fats and the impacts of structures on properties. This lab consists of three overarching steps and they include: soapmaking, testing the soap, and working with the biodiesel. The results in this experiment were that two layers were formed and the result was biodiesel. (RESULTS and WHY DID YOU TEST THEM). We compared the soaps made in class to the commercial bar soaps. We found that (INSERT) Discussion/Questions Emulsion is a combination of two or more liquids that are immiscible. In order to form an emulsion, one wants the substances to mix. When looking at oil and water, the substances do not mix because of opposite polarities. Soap enables water and oil to mix because it has a polar and nonpolar end. The nonpolar end attracts oil because oil is nonpolar and when water is washed over soapy clothes, the water molecules are attracted to the polar end of the soap molecule. This attraction pulls the dirt molecule along with the water. The oil wants to stick with soap but water pulls it along. The role of the ethyl alcohol was to dissolve the triglycerides so that they can react with sodium hydroxide. The triglycerides and sodium hydroxide are both immiscible but this alcoholic solvent facilitates the reaction. Soaps and hard water make precipitates with calcium ions. Precipitates often bond to clothes and are extremely hard to remove. They are made because soaps cannot 2 enclose the calcium or magnesium ions in water. Cations then attach to whatever is being washed. Some soaps cant solvate the cations. This is weird because soaps have negatively charged groups at the end. Whether or not a micelle is formed depends on a carbon chains saturation. Soap and biodiesel have similar formations: a triglyceride is combined with a base and an alcohol breaks away from the glycerol to make the three fatty acid chains. They synthesize differently because they have varying amounts of base to react with triglyceride. Saponification makes soap by combining a concentrated base and triglyceride in an alcoholic solvent. This results in three fatty acid salts and glycerol. Fatty acid chains neutralize and make fatty acid salt, which is the same as soap. Transesterifccation is a known as the synthesis of biodiesel, utilizes the base and alcohols in different ways. The alcohol is the reactant and a small amount of the base serves as a catalyst. The base reacts with the alcohol to make a radical. The radical engages the triglyceride. This results in the formation of biodiesel and glycerol. Three methyl esters are formed for every triglyceride. These methyl esters are biodiesel. (INSERT ERROR, RESULTS AND EXPLANATION OF MEANING, AND WHAT WAS THE GOAL OF RESULTS AND WHAT DO YOUR RESULTS POINT TO) The class will test biodiesel at another time. The tests will be on biodiesels chemical and physical properties. The goal of the test is to determine if we actually formed biodiesel. Conclusion 3 Saponification consists of the addition of a base and triglyceride as they are heated. The soaps were tested five was. (WHICH OILS WERE BEST? THE CALCULATIONS AND RESULT ERROR) Biodiesel formed with soybean, canola, and commercial bar soap. During transesterfication, a triglyceride was combined with alcohol as the base served as a catalyst. Biodiesel testing will be done next year. In forming the biodiesel, there were minor errors like the use of dirty glassware.
