It is a DE-estherfication (hydrolysis or saponification of triglicerides, eg. glycerol-tri-Oleate) in alkaline, so it is not the acid that is freed from the esther, but its conjugated base of that fatty acid (eg. Oleic acid) which forms a (sodium or potassium) salt with the (most commonly used) sodium (or potassium) hydroxide or carbonate.
In saponification, the solid product (eg. Sodium Oleate) is specifically called a soap!

∙ 12y agoKeeping this as simple as possible, keep in mind water is a polar molecule with a slightly negative charge at the oxygen and slightly positive charge at the hydrogens. When the soap is being held in solution the charges of the water molecules are essentially holding it there through their attraction. However when we add an ion, such as those released when the ionic bonds between NaCl (salt) are broken these have a stronger attraction to the polar ends of the water molecule than the soap does. This causes the water to sort of redirect its attention to the Na+ and Cl- ions causing them to "drop" the soap molecules.

∙ 9y agoThe product of saponification is a salt because of the components in the process. Since it hydrolyzes alkaloid molecules or long ester chains, a salt is all that is left.

Conclusion of soap preparation?
The conclusion of soap preparation involves allowing the soap to cool in the molds. As the soap cools it will solidify enough to be popped out of the molds.
Is soap made from salts?
NO, THERE IS NO SALT IN SOAP!!! ---------------------------------------------------- Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is often called Salt or Table Salt. However, technically it is only one type of salt. In Chemistry, a salt is any ionically bonded compound. Lye Soap is a type of soap formed by an ionic bond between Sodium (Na+) and the conjugate base of a fatty acid (ROO-) ROO-Na+ And thus, Lye Soap IS A SALT. Salts will dissociate into their ionic constituents in water. Soap is not required for that step.
How does saponification relate to organic chemistry?
The preparation of soap is called as saponification. When an ester reacts with a sodium salt of a carboxylic acid in the presence of a lye, it forms soap. All the reactants and products are organic.
What dissolves soap but not salt?
Saturated salt solution dissolve soap but not salt at same temperature and pressure.
What is the soap?
Soapy water is water which has soap dissolved in it.
Explain the role of common salt during the preparation of soap?
it hardens the soap
Why does NaCl help to precipitate the soap?
Sodium chloride is used to precipitate soaps from the solution.
What is the difference between salt and soap?
Salt, is used to flavor and preserve food. Soap is used to clean and disinfect
How do you carry out relevant preparation methods correctly?
Basic formula of soap is C17H35COONa. Soap is a sodium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Soap is prepared by heating animal fat or vegetable oil with an alkali.

What are three common household solutes?
Salt,sugar, detergent, and soap. Salt and sugar are used in food recipes while soap and detergents are used for the removal of dish stains or to clean your face, the soap is for the face
What is the work of NaCl in soap preparation?
Sodium chloride is added to precipitate the soap.
What dissolves soap but not salt?
Saturated salt solution dissolve soap but not salt at same temperature and pressure.
What is the soap?
Soapy water is water which has soap dissolved in it.
Which sentence is grammatically correct either baking soda or soap are a salt or either baking soda or soap is a salt?
Either baking soda or soap is salt.
