sunflower oil + 3methanol <--> 3 biodiesel product + glycerol A transesterification takes place by using sunflower oil and methanol and 1%wt. NaOH as catalyst. The ratio of sunflower oil to methanol is 1:6. 100g of sunflower oil will be used in this experiment. The result gives 60% glycerol yield. Calculate the mol and gr amount of the glycerol that is used according to these ratios: a) 1:6 b) 1:3 c)1:2
