Question

Is saponification reaction an exothermic reaction? Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

The saponification reaction is exothermic in nature, because heat is liberated during the process. The soap formed remains in suspension form in the mixture. Sodium hydroxide is a base and its solution in water turns red litmus blue. Hence, its solution in water is alkaline.

Answer 2

Answer:

no,

Explanation:

The saponification process itself is an endothermic reaction, meaning that it absorbs heat from the surroundings. This “heat stage” of soap making is commonly called as gel phase.
