About this document
Activation Energy in Saponification Lab by Deshan Wolfey is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses determining the activation energy of the saponification reaction between olive oil and sodium hydroxide solution through pH analysis. It explains that the rate of reaction can be measured by monitoring the change in pH over time, as hydroxide ions are consumed. Accounting for variable water ionization constants with temperature is important for accurately relating pH to hydroxide concentration. Experimental results found an activation energy of 2.76 J/mol, though more data points wou
