    This experiment aims to determine which of two popular margarines in Jamaica, coco or hemp, is healthier. It is hypothesized that hemp margarine requires more potassium manganate solution to reach its endpoint, indicating it contains more unsaturated fats. The experiment involves titrating samples of each margarine with a potassium manganate solution and recording the volumes needed to reach the endpoint, a color change. The margarine requiring the larger volume will be considered healthier based on higher unsaturated fat content.

    Problem statement: Two brands of margarine are consumed by the

    majority in Jamaica. Coco margarine made from coconut and hemp


    margarine (hemp oil) in marijuana plant. The heart foundation of
    Jamaica wants to recommend the healthier margarine to the
    population. Plan and design an experiment to determine which
    margarine is healthier

    Hypothesis: Hemp margarine is the healthier margarine and requires


    more KMnO4 to reach its end point.

    Aim: To determine which margarine is healthier by adding acidified


    Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4).

    Materials/Apparatus: Coco margarine, Hemp margarine, Potassium


    Manganate (VII) (KMnO4), pipette, burette, conical flask, clamp and
    stand, conical flask, beaker, Bunsen burner, tripod stand.

    Method:

    1. Obtain three pounds (3lbs) of both Hemps and Coco margarines.


    2. Set up the Bunsen burner apparatus, which includes the Bunsen
    burner, tripod stand and wire gauze.
    3. Gather two beakers. Label one H to represent Hemps margarine
    and the other C to represent Coco margarine.
    4. Place the beakers on the Bunsen burner apparatus to melt the
    margarines.
    5. Place the melted margarines in a 250cm3 volumetric flask until
    they both reach the mark at the neck of it.
    6. Fill the burette with Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) and
    record its initial volume.
    7. Measure 25cm3 of melted Hemp margarine and add it to a conical
    flask.
    8. Titrate the Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) with the Hemp
    margarine until the solution remains purple.
    9. Record the final volume of the Potassium Manganate (VII)
    (KMnO4).
    10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 two more times.
    11. Repeat steps 6 to 10 for the Coco margarine.

    Variables:

    1. Manipulated: The types of margarine (Hemp and Coco margarine)


    2. Controlled: The amount of margarine utilized
    3. Responding: The volume of Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4)
    utilized until the end point of the titration is reached.

    Data To Be Collected (Expected Results):

    Hemp Margarine:

    Burette Reading/cm3 Titration 1 Titration 2 Titration 3


    Final Volume
    Initial Volume
    Volume of Solution
    (Final-Initial volumes)

    Coco Margarine:

    Burette Reading/cm3 Titration 1 Titration 2 Titration 3


    Final Volume
    Initial Volume
    Volume of Solution
    (Final-Initial volumes)
    When Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) is titrated against both
    Hemp and Coco margarines it is expected to change color from purple
    to colorless when they have reached their end point. Both Hemp and
    Coco margarines are expected to require different volumes of
    Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) for a complete color change to
    occur.

    Interpretation of Data: The margarines are expected to require


    different amounts of Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) during the
    titration because they are composed of different physical and chemical
    properties. The color of the Potassium Manganate (VII) (KMnO4)
    changed from purple to colorless as a result of the margarine solutions
    reducing it. The margarine that requires the more Potassium
    Manganate (VII) (KMnO4) for color change will be considered as the
    margarine which has the most unsaturated fats. Hence, the margarine
    which is considered to have the most unsaturated will be the healthier
    of the two.

    Assumption: It can be assumed that Hemp margarine is the healthier


    margarine.

    Limitations: The quantity of margarine might not be enough.

    Precaution: Ensure that the properties or components of both Hemp


    and Coco margarine are known of.
