Which fat sample will require more KOH for complete saponification cottonseed oil or the same mass of lard?
The lard sample will require more KOH for complete saponification. This is because lard is a saturated fat, and therefore the molecules are more closely packed together. This means that there are more bonds that need to be broken in order to saponify the fat.
Why is the hydrolysis of fat called saponification?
The term "Saponification" is an indication of what this reaction originally was used for: making soap. By boiling animal fat or lard with either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, the reaction, hydrolysis, produced glycerol and soap.
Why is the mass of your soap much greater than the mass of lard you started with?
The mass of the soap is greater than the mass of lard due to the chemical reaction that occurs during saponification. When lard (a fat) reacts with an alkali, it produces soap and glycerol. This reaction can incorporate water and other materials, resulting in a final product that has a greater mass than the initial amount of lard used. Additionally, the soap may also contain unreacted lye or water, further contributing to the overall increase in mass.
Why do you think ethanol is used in saponification process?
Ethanol is added to hasten saponification.
Is animal lard heathier than vegetable lard?
Vegetable lard does not exist, its an oxymoron. So animal lard;)
How do you saponification stearic acid?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
Does lard have double bonds?
lard
Between butter and margarine which one got higher saponification value?
margarine has saponification value more then butter
Why mineral oil does not undergo saponification?
Mineral oil is a non-polar compound with long hydrocarbon chains and lacks the functional groups needed for saponification, such as ester functional groups found in triglycerides. Saponification is a reaction that involves breaking down ester bonds in fats and oils, so without these bonds, mineral oil cannot undergo saponification.
What is the Saponification value of Glycerin?
Glycerin and soap are the bye-products of saponification. The saponification value of glycerine are values of the percentage of lye it takes to convert one unit of fat, oil or fatty acid into glycerin.
Can a magnet create saponification?
No, a magnet cannot create saponification. Saponification is a chemical reaction that typically involves a base (like lye) with fats or oils to produce soap. Magnets do not play a role in this chemical process.
