What acid is in soap?

Soap often contains fatty acids such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. These acids are the result of the saponification process, where fats and oils are combined with sodium hydroxide (lye) to produce soap.


What is the equation for the preparation of soap from stearic acid and sodium hydroxide?

Well, to write it out is complex, but I will do my best: C18H36O2 + NaOH = alcohol + salt of the carboxylic acid (soap) The proper name for this process saponification, and the specific products can be determined via GC analysis or through your own tedious calculations.


Chmical reaction when stearic acid add KOH?

When stearic acid is added to potassium hydroxide (KOH), it undergoes saponification to form potassium stearate and water. This reaction is commonly used in soap making processes. The reaction can be represented by the chemical equation: C17H35COOH + KOH -> C17H35COOK + H2O

How do you prove that glucose do not raise the melting point of stearic acid?

To prove that glucose does not raise the melting point of stearic acid, conduct a melting point analysis of stearic acid alone and stearic acid mixed with glucose. If the melting point of the mixture is the same as that of stearic acid alone, it indicates that the presence of glucose does not affect the melting point of stearic acid. This experiment can help demonstrate that glucose does not raise the melting point of stearic acid.
