Question

chemical reaction of soap?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical reaction of soap:

• Saponification is the process of making soap frm fat/oil.
• The chemical reaction between any fat and sodium hydroxide is a saponification reaction.
• A process where triglycerides react with sodium hydroxide to make glycerol and a fatty acid(soap).

✷Soaps are denoted by the general formula RCOO-Na+, where R is any long chain alkyl group consisting 12 to 18 carbon atoms....

hope this helps u ✌️☺️

Answer 2

Answer:

soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted into soap and glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Since this reaction leads to the formation of soap, it is called the Saponification process.
