Saponification is a process in which soap is produced from the chemical reaction between animal fat (triglycerides) and a strong base such as KOH.
An example of such balanced chemical reaction is shown here:
C51H98O6 + 3KOH → C3H5(OH)3 + 3C16H31O2K
(Triglyceride) (Soap)
if during the saponification reaction 231.5 g of C51H98O6 is mixed with 231.5 g of KOH and 160 g of soap is produced.
Calculate the theoretical yield of soap C16H31O2K and indicate who is the limiting reactant. (Provide your answer to 2 decimal places)
Calculate the percent yield for this reaction (Provide your answer to 1 decimal place)

Analytical chemistry is a particular field within the broader spectrum of the chemical sciences, in which many times the focus of analytical experiments is to develop new methods to analyze compounds, either structurally or by determining concentrations of compounds. One of the processes analytical chemists use to determine the exact concentration of a working solution is called standardization. In your own words, describe the differences between a primary, secondary, and tertiary standard, and describe the underlying concept behind the standardization process. Why is it done?
The world population is estimated to be 7.4 x 109. Nauru is the smallest island nation and comprises 1.5 x 10-4% of the world population. If the percentage of left-handed people is approximately 12%, estimate the number of left-handers on the island of Nauru.
