Question

Explain the following:
1.) Saponification
2.) Allotropy
Please give me best answer

Answer 1

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 theSaponification process.

Answer 2

sponification is the process of converting an ester back into ethanol and sodium ethonate.it takes place in presence of naoh. this reaction is called sponification as it is used in the manufacture of salt.


allotrophy is the exsistencs of an element in different forms called allotrope of the element they have different structural arrangement. like carbon shows this property it has 3 allotrophs diamond graphite and fullerence
