The acid value definition is the number milligrams of KOH needed to neutralize the acid present in one gram oil and fats however why not employ NaOH for the neutralization?

E

Expert

Verified

NaOH can as well be employed however standard outcomes are mainly based on the computation done by using the KOH as alkali.
