Below, you can see the reaction for the synthesis of biodiesel. It involves mixing vegetable oil (which can be replaced with waste cooking oil from the food industry), methanol, and sodium hydroxide together and gently heating it to produce biodiesel and glycerol. Biodiesel is considered a greener alternative to traditional fuels, like diesel. H2C HC + 3 CH, OH , O methanol vegetable oil ] NaOH 운 . OH 3 H₂C. НО. OH + biodiesel (methyl linoleate) glycerol 1. Knowing that the molar mass of biodiesel is 294.47 g/mol, how many molecules of vegetable oil would you need to produce 1.00 kg of fuel? Show your work for full credit. (5 points)
