Hi,
I understand that the iodine number is the number of moles of iodine reacting with one mole of fat/oil which indicates the number of double bonds present in the fat/oil molecule.
However I am having trouble calculating them.
Can someone show me how to solve the following question please?
0.014 moles of a particular oil was found to react exactly with 14.2g of iodine. Calculate the number of moles of iodine that reacted and state what can be deduced about the structure of the oil from this information.
This is as far as I got:
Number of moles of iodine: 14.2/126.9 = 0.112mol
