Why initial products of the saponification of methyl benzoate soluble in water?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Saponification is a term used where soaps are formed as from fats and oils (triglycerides), methyl benzoate is a simple ester so here we may use the term hydrolysis, the reaction is performed in presence of NaOH so initial products are in ionic or salt form, sodium benzoate and sodium methoxide so are soluble in water.

Is methyl benzoate an ester?
Methyl benzoate, an organic compound, is an ester. It is a colorless liquid that is not soluble in water and has a fruity smells. Some uses for methyl benzoate are as a solvent and a pesticide.
What is the reaction of saponification by using ordinary fat?
Soaps make soluble in water fats an oils, forming specific micelles.
Is alcohol and oil soluble in soluble?
All , Because the reaction between oil and alkali takes place only at interface and thus rate of the reaction is very slow . But when oil is dissolved in ethanol the saponification progresses well.
Can a double displacement reaction takes place when the products are highly soluble or highly ionised?
Yes,it can
Is carbon monoxide soluble or insoluble?
There is no such thing as carbon trioxide. There is the carbonate ion (CO32-). Most carbonates are insoluble in water. There is also carbon dioxide (CO2) which is somewhat soluble in water.
Is methyl benzoate an ester?
Methyl benzoate, an organic compound, is an ester. It is a colorless liquid that is not soluble in water and has a fruity smells. Some uses for methyl benzoate are as a solvent and a pesticide.
What is sodium benzoate solubility in water?
The solubility of sodium benzoate in water is 62.69 grams per 100 mL. Generally acids are not very soluble in water.
Is sodium benzoate soluble in sodium chloride?
Yes, Benzoic acid is a weak acid (pKa ~ 4.2) that will dissolve in weak base such as sodium bicarbonate (pKa ~ 6.4)
What are the ingredients of the effervescent tablet?
sodium bicarbonate, citric acid,sodium benzoate and water soluble flavour
What is the reaction of saponification by using ordinary fat?
Soaps make soluble in water fats an oils, forming specific micelles.
Why is the sodium benzoate easily extracted into H20 while the original benzoic acid is not easily extracted into H20?
Because sodium benzoate is a salt and is soluble in water while benzoic acid is insoluble.
Can you tell me the Soluble products and non soluble products in chemistry?
All the products which dissolve in water completely are soluble products like sugar, salt etc while the products which didn't dissolve in water completely are non soluble products like sand, chalk dust etc.
Why does benzoic acid precipitate out when the aqueous layer is acidified with HCl?
You're starting with something like sodium benzoate (depends on what base you used for the extraction step), which contains sodium ions (Na+) and benzoate ions (C6H5COO-). Ionic compounds like that tend to be soluble in water. When you add H+, you protonate the benzoate ion to make benzoic acid (C6H5COOH), which is a neutral molecule, and hardly soluble in water at all... so it precipitates.
What is the chemical formula forsodium benzoate?
HCl(aq) + C6H5COONa(aq) --> C6H5COOH(s) + NaCl(aq)
Is sodium benzoate soluble in NaOH?
One gram of the salt is soluble in 2 ml of water, in 75 ml of ethyl alcohol, and in 50 ml of 90 % ethyl alcohol. The salt is insoluble in ethyl ether. Source is is a pdf from http://www.emeraldmaterials.com The complete link to the pdf file is found to the left of this answer under Web Links. It also includes the solubility in water a variety of temperatures.
Why are soluble salts made?
Soluble or not soluble, salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases.
What compounds are derived from lipids?
Steroids and fat-soluble vitamins are classified as derived lipid since they can be inactivated by saponification reaction, the structure therefore is not ester type but it is an alcohol type.
