Question

sopanification and esterificatio​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saponification is a process by which triglycerides are reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide (lye) to produce glycerol and a fatty acid salt called "soap." The triglycerides are most often animal fats or vegetable oils. When sodium hydroxide is used, a hard soap is produced. Using potassium hydroxide results in a soft soap.

Answer 2

Saponification is a process by which triglycerides are reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide (lye) to produce glycerol and a fatty acid salt called "soap." The triglycerides are most often animal fats or vegetable oils. When sodium hydroxide is used, a hard soap is produced.

Esterification is the reaction of an acid (condensation of the carboxyl group of the acid) with an alcohol (the hydroxyl group of the alcohol) in the presence of a catalyst.
