Here is your answer-

Acid Value:- The acid value (AV) is a common parameter in the specification of fats and oils. It is defined as the weight of KOH in mg needed to neutralize the organic acids present in 1g of fat and it is a measure of the free fatty acids (FFA) present in the fat or oil.

Saponification Value:- Saponification value is thenumber of milligrams of potassium 4 hydroxide (KOH) required to saponify completely the fatty material present and also to neutralize the free fattyacids present in one gram of the fat or oil. ..

Answer:

This is the required point of acid value and saponification value.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question we have to find the difference between acid value and saponification value.

The key difference between acid value and saponification value is that acid value gives the mass of potassium hydroxide that is required to neutralize one gram of a chemical substance whereas saponification value gives the mass of potassium hydroxide required to saponify one gram of fat.

  • Acid value is the mass in milligrams of potassium hydroxide that is required to neutralize one gram of a chemical substance. In other words, this value determines the amount of acid in the substance. Generally, this value is used as a measure of the amount of carboxylic acid groups in a chemical compound.
  • The determination of acid value includes dissolving a known amount of a sample in an organic solvent.
  • Saponification value is the mass in milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify one gram of fat under specific conditions. This value measures the average molecular weight of all the fatty acids present in a sample.
  • This value allows us to compare the average fatty acid chain length. Actually, this value determines the amount of carboxylic acid groups per fatty acid chain.

Hence, this is the required point of acid value and saponification value.
