Abstract
Abstract (1) For the determination of the saponification value of the acetone extract, 20 cc. 0.2 N alcoholic potash is added to the extract and the flask is heated on a water bath for 60 minutes. It is then titrated with 0.1 N HCl solution, using phenolphthalein as indicator. (2) When the saponification values of the acetone extracts of 8, 16, and 24 hours are compared, the saponification value of the 8 hour extract is seen to be high, while those of 16 and 24 hour extracts are low. This indicates (a) that the 8 hour extract contains a higher percentage of saponifiable matter than the 16 and 24 hour extracts; (b) the quantity of rubber hydrocarbon which is dissolved in the acetone extract increases with increasing time of extraction, and (c) the acid value of the acetone extract decreases during the period of extraction from 16 to 24 hours. (3) Regarding the saponification values (R) of the acetone extracts of 8, 16, and 24 hours, similar remarks may be made as in (2) above.
