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. Soap is precipitated as a solid from the suspension by adding common salt to the suspension. Hence, salt helps in precipitation. This process is called salting out of soap.
