The total acid number of an oil is given by __________(a) Acid value = (volume of 0.1N KOH taken*56)/(weight of oil used)(b) Acid value = (volume of 0.01N KOH used*56)/(weight of oil taken)(c) Acid value = (volume of 0.1N KOH used*56)/(weight of oil taken)(d) Acid value = (volume of 0.01N KOH taken*56)/(weight of oil used)The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question originated from Neutralization/Acidic Number in chapter Lubricants of Applied Chemistry

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (c) Acid value = (volume of 0.1N KOH USED*56)/(WEIGHT of oil taken)

For explanation: The total acid number of an oil is given by Acid value= (volume of 0.1N KOH used*56)/(weight of oil taken), where the 0.1 is the MAXIMUM value of the oil and 56 is the molecular weight of the KOH.
