Purpose

The purpose of this experiment is to prepare soap through the saponification process and use it to test water hardness.
Procedure
The saponification process began by placing approximately 5 grams of lard in a beaker. 15 mL of sodium Hydroxide (6 M) was slowly and carefully added followed by an addition of 25 mL of ethanol. After adding ethanol, the beaker was heated while stirring until the base fully reacted with the lard. The result was a clear and homogenous solution. After cooling the solution, 20 mL of water was added. The next step involved the preparation of saturated ...

Bariatric Surgery

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a routine surgery of the stomach for the reduction of weight. During this surgical procedure, a gastric band is tightened around the stomach to constrict the stomach and reduce its volume (Code 43770). The band is adjustable so that the surgeons can go back and narrow the band more; this reduces the volume of the stomach gradually (Code 43771). The smaller the volume of the stomach, the less food the stomach can hold, and the more weight the patient can lose. Sometimes the band can cut through the stomach wall. When this happens, ...

Introduction

Saponification number is defined as the number of milligrams of KOH required to saponify completely 1 gm of fat. Since fats are mixture of triglycerides, most of which are of mixed type, so saponification number is measure of average molecular weight of the fatty acids comprising the fats (i.e. the measure of the average chain length of fatty acids). Saponification number is an important constant particularly in distinguishing or identifying certain oils. Iodine number is defined as the number of grams of iodine absorbed by 100 gm of fat. Halogens, e.g. iodine or bromine are taken up by ...

At ambient temperature and pressure, mercury (the elemental mercury) is a metal in form of heavy silvery-white liquid. It exists in three oxidation states: mercuric Hg+2, metallic Hg, and mercuros Hg2 +2. Organic and Inorganic compounds are formed by mercuric and mercuros states. The mercuros state is unstable under environmental conditions. Mercury exists in water, sediment, soil and biota only in inorganic mercuric salts and organomercurics.
In the Cold Vapour analysis, mercury from the digest sample is reduced with either SnCl2 or NaBH4 and then measured with a conventional cold vapour flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. ...
