If a 0.2g of oil consumed 1ml of sodium thiosulphate, calculate its iodine value and classify the oil?

Iodine value is a measure of the degree of unsaturation in fats and oils. It is essentially the number of grams of iodine consumed by 100 g of fat. If the iodine number is in the range of 0-70 then it is a fat, any value above 70 is considered an oil.

Formula:

Iodine number = (ml of 0.1 N Thiosulphate blank- ml of 0.1N thiosulphate test) * 12.7 *100/1000* wt of sample

vol of thiosulphate required to titrate test sample (given oil) = 1 ml

wt of sample = 0.2 g

Information on the volume of thiosulphate required to titrate the blank solution is essential for calculation.

Iodine number = (X-1.0) * 12.7 * 100/1000* 0.2 = (X-1.0)*6.35

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
