Why is saponification reaction is considered to be the reverse of an esterification reaction?
saponification is considered to be the reverse process of an esterification reaction due to the fact that esterification is combining an alcohol and a carboxylic acid but a saponification is breaking apart the ester by adding an NaCl molecule (soap) to the chain of carbons.
What is the change in conductivity as the concentration of the NaCl solution was increased by the addition of NaCl drops?
The electrical conductivity of the solution will be higher if the concentration of NaCl increase.
When fats reacts with sodium hydroxide they form?
The simplest answer is probably - "lye soap". In broader terms, the reaction of fats with bases (like NaOH) is called "saponification" and the product is soap. Saponification involves hydrolysis of triglycerides, which are esters of fatty acids, to form the salt (sodium salt if the base is NaOH) of a carboxylates. In addition to soap, such traditional saponification processes produces glycerol.
Why do you think ethanol is used in saponification process?
Ethanol is added to hasten saponification.
Why refluxing is done in saponification?
Saponification is the process of producing soap. Refluxing is done in saponification to distill and remove fat droplets in order to complete the process.
Why mineral oil does not undergo saponification?
Saponification is the reaction between triesters and alcohol.Mineral oil is composed of paraffins and alkanes ,it does'nt contain ester group hence it does not undergo saponification
How do you saponification stearic acid?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
How are soap prepared?
Saponification
What is the catalyst needed for saponification?
Thymol is a good catalyst in saponification. I personally used it during chem prac class :)
Between butter and margarine which one got higher saponification value?
margarine has saponification value more then butter
Melting point of NaCl lower by the addition of calcium chloride?
because of common ion effect
In which reaction is soap a product?
saponification
