Abstract

Research has been carried out on the effect of a catalyst on the yield of transesterification reactions. Pure coconut oil is made mechanically without heating using fresh coconut meat or what is called non-copra, followed by a base-catalyzed transesterification reaction using KOH and NaOH. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the catalyst on the yield of the transesterification reaction. The results of the reaction were analyzed by determining the physico-chemical properties and analysis of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-SM). The results showed that the average reaction yield with KOH catalyst was 74.3% and 70% NaOH catalyst. The most dominant GC-SM identification results were ethyl caproate 4.12%, ethyl capricate 4.99%, ethyl laurate 54.97%, ethyl myristate 18.49%, ethyl palmitate 8.13%, 9.12 octadecatrin-1-ol 5.24% and ethyl strearate 2.28%.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the quality of multiple-choice items in the "Chemistry Boost" test from FMIPAK Unima, based on responses from 80 high school students answering 40 items. The validity test used a combination of Discrimination Index (DI) and Difficulty Level (DL). DI has 6 categories: Very Good, Good Enough, Marginal, Poor Discrimination, Negative, while DL consists of 6 categories: Discarded, Very Easy, Easy, Maintained, Very Difficult, and Reviewed for deficiencies or taught. The results obtained are 23 valid items, or 57.5%. Based on the results, the cognitive processes of Anderson's revised Bloom Taxonomy were determined, with valid items in C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 being 2, 2, 12, 6, 0, respectively. Items categorized as Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are in C4 and C5, totaling 18 items. Valid chemistry topics include Acid-Base, Atomic Structure, Stoichiometry, and Reaction Rates. Topics less understood by participants include Compounds and Chemical Formulas, Solubility, Chemical Equilibrium, Ionization Energy, Redox, Electrochemistry, and Hydrocarbons.

Abstract

Oil is a triglyceride compound that is liquid at room temperature. Oil can experience changes in aroma and taste during storage. To overcome the damage to the oil, neutralization is carried out. Neutralization is a process to break free fatty acids from oil or fat, by reacting free fatty acids with bases or other reagents, thus forming soap (soap stock) with the aim of purifying oil, reducing residual gum, improving taste, and reducing darkness from the oil. Neutralization can be done in various ways, namely by using alkali, sodium carbonate, ammonia, or by using steam. This study aims to determine the optimum concentration of whiting solution in neutralizing free fatty acids. Neutralization was carried out with several concentrations, namely 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%. The test parameters in this study were free fatty acid content, acid number, peroxide value and water content. Based on the results obtained the optimum concentration was 16% with free fatty acids 0.1781, acid number 0.25, peroxide number 4.39, water content 0.39.
