Answer:

Saponification is the name of the chemical reaction that produces soap. In the process, animal or vegetable fat is converted into soap (a fatty acid) and alcohol. The reaction requires a solution of an alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in water and also heat.

2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 ⇨ 2CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ⇨ CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

Please mark my answer as brainliest if you think it is perfect.

Thank you !!!
