Question: Calculation 1 : Below is a saponification to form soap from aqueous caustic soda N a O H ( a q ) and glyceryl stearate

Calculation 1: Below is a saponification to form soap from aqueous caustic soda NaOH(aq) and
glyceryl stearate and this reaction takes place in a constant volume batch reactor.
3NaOH(aq)+(C17H35COO)3C3H5longrightarrow3C17H35COONa+C3H5(OH)3
Write a stoichiometric table expressing the concentration of each species in terms of the
initial concentration (of NaOH ) and the conversion, x(of NaOH ). This x is the conversion
of NaOH. In this calculation, we take NaOH as the limiting species. j is also needed to
construct this table.
If the initial mixture consists of sodium hydroxide at a concentration of 10moldm3(i.e.,
10molL) and glyceryl stearate at a concentration of 2moldm3, what are the
concentrations of glyceryl stearate and of glycerine, when X is 20%?
