- With this activity, students will synthesize their own biodiesel
- This two-phase process will result in crude biodiesel that can demonstrate burning qualities
- This kit also includes an optional activity to further refine the synthesized biodiesel
- This kit contains enough material for 5 groups of students
- Teacher’s manual and student study guide copymasters are included
Innovating Science chemistry kit is used to produce biodiesel, and features a two-phase process to produce small batches of crude biodiesel for demonstrating burning qualities biodiesel and vegetable oil. The kit includes an optional small-scale exercise for students to experience the full process of producing biodiesel to meet quality levels necessary for use in vehicles through a washing procedure.
What’s in the box?
- 2 bottles vegetable oil, 500mL each
- 5 bottles methyl aclohol, 25mL each
- 1 bottle potassium hydroxide, 10g
- 2 microburners
