Problem 2:

Rx/

Purified water 50 g

Olive oil 200 g

Borax 4.76 g

White beeswax ?g

White soft paraffin 96 g

Knowing that:

- Molecular weight of borax (Na2B4O7.10 H2O) = 381.43 g/mol

- Molecular weight of potassium hydroxide (KOH) = 6.11 g/mol

- Molecular weight of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) = 40 g/mol

- Acid value of olive oil = 2

- Acid value of white beeswax = 20

- Calculate the amount of white beeswax required to prepare 1 Kg of the
above preparation
