Question

Consider the following comments about saponification reactions:
I. Heat is evolved in these reactions.
II. For quick precipitation of soap, sodium chloride is added to the reaction mixtures.
III. Saponification reactions are a special kind of neutralisation reactions.
IV. Soaps are basic salts of long-chain fatty acids.
The correct comments are
(a) I, II and III
(b) II, III and IV
(c) I, II and IV
(d) Only I and IV

Answer 1

Answer:

C. I,II,IV

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option C - I, II and IV

Explanation:

Saponification is the process by which soaps are made from triglycerides and sodium or potassium hydroxide.  Soaps are basic salts of long-chain fatty acids. Heat is evolved in these reactions. For quick precipitation of soap, sodium chloride is added to the reaction mixtures.

Saponification reactions are not neutralisation reactions, hence option III is incorrect. So options I, II and IV are correct.
