Traditional soap making involves the hydrolysis of various natural fats, which are usually the triglyceride esters of straight chain organic monoacids, with a strong aqueous base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide to produce the alkali metal salt of the alkali metal atom used, this salt being the effective soap, and glycerin by-product. The natural fats are usually not pure compounds, but a typical example is (C15H31COO)3CH2CHCH2 + 3 KOH (aq) = 3 K(C15H31COO)3 (aq) + CH2OHCHOHCH2OH.

Soap scum physical or chemical change?
Soap scum is a substance, not a change; but the formation of scum is a chemical process.
What is the Chemical equation for rusting steel?
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
What is the full chemical equation including state symbols for the formation of Na2O from is elements?
4Na+2O2=2Na2O
What is the chemical equation shows the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen?
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --> H2O (l)
A shorthand description of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols is a chemical what?
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
Soap scum physical or chemical change?
Soap scum is a substance, not a change; but the formation of scum is a chemical process.
Soap formula equation?
Soap is a mixture and not a compound. It therefore does not have a chemical formula.
What is the Chemical equation for rusting steel?
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
If tap water and soap form an insoluble deposit is this a physical or chemical change?
The formation of a precipitate is a chemical change.
What is the chemical equation for soap with NaCl?
This is not for sodium myristate but the website is useful. http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/554soap.html
What is carbon monoxides chemical equation?
The chemical formula for Carbon monoxide is CO and the equation that would result in its formation would be 2C + O2 = 2CO.
Is soap scum of a chemical change?
No, the formation of soap scum is not a chemical change. Soap scum appears as the result of a physical change. Some of the soap and whatever has become incorporated into the soap and water dry. After the water is gone, the things left are from the soap and whatever mixed with the soap when it was "working" at cleaning.
What is the difference between a chemical formula and chemical equation?
A chemical formula is just one molecule. For example, the chemical formula for water is H2O. The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3 A chemical equation contains reactants and products, which are molecules or groups of molecules. For example, what is the chemical equation for the formation of water. 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
What is the full chemical equation including state symbols for the formation of Na2O from is elements?
4Na+2O2=2Na2O
What happpens to the reactants in a chemical equation?
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the atoms of the reactants break, and new bonds are formed during the formation of the products.
Which chemical equation correctly shows the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen?
2H2,g + O2,g --> H2Ol
What is the chemical equation shows the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen?
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --> H2O (l)
