Solution

a) Theoretically, you could make 0.3 moles of methyl ester biodiesel from 0.3 moles of oil molecules. This is because the reaction of oil molecules to form biodiesel is a one-to-one molar ratio, meaning one mole of oil molecules will produce one mole of biodiesel.

b) Similarly, you could also theoretically produce 0.3 moles of glycerol as a byproduct. This is because the reaction also produces one mole of glycerol for every mole of oil molecules used.
