Saponification reaction
A reaction in which a fat or oil is heated in an aqueous solution resulting in the formation of soap and alcohol is known as saponification.
For example, the chemical reaction equation for saponification process is as follows:
CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH ————
——> C2H5OH + CH3COONa
So basically, in saponification an ester is cleaved into carboxylic acid and alcohol.
Micelle formation
Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of long chain carboxylic acid one end is ionic while the other is hydrocarbon end . When a soap is applied it get into formation that ions are facing outside snice they are soluble in water whereas the hydrocarbon end face inside towards the dirt and form a emulsion called micelle and when they are washed since the dirt is compltely surrounded by the micelle the dirt along with micelle get qashed away.
