Answer 2

Hi there,

Oils are primarily treated with a Strong Base like NaOH or KOH.

# Explanation

Saponification is a process in which fat molecules react with a Strong Base (NaOH or KOH) to give glycerol and salts of carboxylic acid. The saponification is useful in the preparation of soaps. Saponification requires a strong base to convert the fat molecules into the glycerol and carboxylic salts.
