A certain lipid sample consists of a wax of unknown molecular weight and composition. It is known, however that the 2 groups are the same fatty acids. In order to investigate this, saponification and iodine numbers were used. A 3.000 g wax sample was placed under reflux with 20.00 mL of 0.7000 M KOH (56.1056 mg/mmol). It was then back-titrated using a 0.3500 M HCl titrant that required 23.91 mL to the phenolphthalein endpoint. To further characterize this, a 0.100 g sample was titrated for its iodine number. This consumed 3.50 mL of 0.100 N thiosulfate titrant. (Iodine: 126.905 g/eq) a) What is the saponification number of this wax sample? b) What is its Iodine number? c) How would you describe this in terms of unsaturation?

Arginine has ionizable groups with pKa values of 2.17, 9.04, and 12.48. A researcher makes up 73 mL of a 0.125 M solution of arginine at a pH = 8.5. He then adds 35 mL of 0.24 M NaOH. What is the pH of the resulting solution?
What should I use as a balanced equation for the combination of Cream of Tartar and sodium carbonate monohydrate to form Seignette Salt? 1) 2KC4H5O6 + Na2CO3·H2O+ 6H2O → 2 KNaC4H4O6·4H2O + CO2 Or 2) 2KC4H5O6 + Na2CO3·H2O+ 2H2O → 2 KNaC4H4O6·4H2O + CO2 Is the second reaction more accurate? Since if we're going to count the number of K,Na,C,H,O in the reactants and products they're both equal, whereas, in the 1st reaction, the 6 mol of H2O makes the Equation not balanced. Is this right?
