antioxidant benefits
lefty asked:


Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, and antioxidant fatty acids found in beef and dairy products. To receive the benefits of CLA, 3 g are required daily, yet a typical person consumes only 10% of this value. An oil rich in CLA con be obtained by converting the linoleic acid in soy oil into CLA by using a UV photo-irradiation system with an iodine catalyst. A water jacketed reaction vessel maintains the reaction temperature at approximately 25 C. The concentration of linoleic acid in soy oil starts at 1.80 mol/L. For this process, the rate law for the formation of a particularly beneficial CLA is:

rate = 2.85×10-4M^-1hr^-1[linocleic acid]^2

If one performs this process over a 2 day period, and one wants to produce enough CLA for one person for a week, then what volume of soy oil is needed?
