Question

what is saponification with reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saponification is a process that involves conversion of fat or oil into soap and alcohol by the action of heat in the presence of aqueous alkali. Soaps are salts of fatty acids whereas fatty acids are saturated monocarboxylic acids that have long carbon chains e.g. CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH

Answer 2

Answer:

pls mark brainliest.

Lipids that contain fatty acid ester linkages can undergo hydrolysis. This reaction is catalyzed by a strong acid or base. Saponification is the alkaline hydrolysis of the fatty acid esters. The mechanism of saponification is:

Nucleophilic attack by the hydroxide

Leaving group removal

Deprotonation

The chemical reaction between any fat and sodium hydroxide is a saponification reaction.

Reaction is-

triglyceride + sodium hydroxide (or potassium hydroxide) → glycerol + 3 soap molecules
