An oil requiring 5.6 mg of KOH per gram to saponify it has a saponification value of

  • A.560
  • B.5.6
  • C.56
  • D.0.56

Answer: B

Correct answer: 5.6

The saponification value is defined as milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram of oil, so the measured figure is the value itself: 5.6. Such a low number indicates an essentially mineral oil with a small ester addition; a vegetable oil would give something near 190.
