Solubility and
the Percent of Oil in Peanuts

Introduction:
Solubility and
the percent of oil in fruits are two important factor
that affect the value of the fruit as food. Factories
which extract oil from nuts and fruits such as olives
and corn need to know the percent of oil in such
products before they are able to evaluate the price.
Food laboratories frequently perform such experiments. |

Project
description:
In this experiment, you
will determine the solubility of a variety of solutes in several
solvents. The observed solubility will be related to the
structure and intermolecular forces of both the solute and the
solvent. On the basis of these tests, you will then devise and
carry out an experimental method for the determination of the
percent of oil in peanuts. |
