Making Biodiesel

After learning about biodiesel for our biodiesel videos we made biodiesel in a lab. We made the biodiesel using Chick-Fil-La sauce by mixing our oil and base together on a hot plate. After the oil and base had mixed for 25 minutes we removed it and poured it into a plastic cup. The cloudy brown color that formed after mixing ended up splitting into methyl esters and glycerin. The separated put biodiesel will be used to fuel the pop pop boats we are making next.
