(c) Cooking products, fats and vegetable oils, are mixtures of saturated and unsaturated
esters.
The degree of unsaturation can be estimated by the following experiment. 4 drops of
the oil are dissolved in 5 cm3 of ethanol. Dilute bromine water is added a drop at a time
until the brown colour no longer disappears. Enough bromine has been added to the
sample to react with all the double bonds.

(d) A better way of measuring the degree of unsaturation is to find the iodine number of the
unsaturated compound. This is the mass of iodine that reacts with all the double bonds
in 100 g of the fat.
Use the following information to calculate the number of double bonds in one molecule
of the fat.
Mass of one mole of the fat is 884 g.
One mole of I2 reacts with one mole

The iodine number of the fat is 86.2 g.

Complete the following calculation.
