What is the role of ethanol in saponification?
ethanol allows oil to be able to mix with water.
What happens when ethanol is added to soap?
From the experiment, why is a mixture of ethanol and water instead of simply water itself used for saponification? ... Ethanol is the catalyst in saponification C. Ethanol would help the soaps obtained from saponification reaction become more soluble in water D.
Is ethanol hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
well being ethanol is an alcohol, I'd say hydrophilic because alcohol can mix in water, as opposed to oil which separates.
Water and ethanol can mix easily in all proportions. why?
Water and ethanol have both OH GROUPS SO THEY CAN DO THE H.BONDING EXTENSIVELY. That is why they can mix with each other
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
What is the role of ethanol in saponification?

Why doesnt oil mix with any other substances?
Oil does mix with other substances for instance if you had some pure ethanol, oil would dissolve in it.
Does oil and alcohol mix?
no. Yes. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) is soluble in both both oil and water. If an oil and ethanol solution is mixed with water I think the ethanol will separate from the oil and mix with the water resulting in a cloudy emulsion of an ethanol-water solution with tiny droplets of oil. This is called louching.

Can mix bleach plus gasoil plus ethanol?
No way in hell. The ethanol will precipitate the bleach into salt and the gas oil will be immiscible in the solution due to the salt precipitation.
Can you mix non ethanol gas with ethanol gas?
No, its bad for your engine Sure you can mix them as long as your vehicle has a flex fuel engine. You can also mix then in a non flex fuel engine as long as you do not mix more than 10% ethanol with plain gasoline.
Is ethanol and water can mix together?
yes. ethanol and water are soluble / miscible
Do ethanol and NaCl mix?
No, they are immiscible.
How many layers would be seen if water vegetable oil and ethanol were in one test tube?
There would be two layers present. One layer would consist of a water-ethanol mixture. The other layer would be the vegetable oil. This occurs because water and ethanol are both polar and can participate in hydrogen bonding. Therefore, they are miscible in each other. However, vegetable oil is non polar and will not mix with either ethanol or water.
Can cooking oil dissolve in ethanol hot?
Cooking oil is dissolved in hot ethanol.
