Question

while studying saponification reaction a student measures the temperature of the reaction mixture and also find its nature using blue / red litmus paper what conclusion can be draw from his observation

Answer 1

the reaction is exothermic and reaction mixture is basic

Please mark it the brainliest

Answer 2

The reaction is endothermic, as the temperature drops, and the mixture turns red litmus Blue and is hence Basic in nature.
This reaction is a saponification reaction. In the process, alkalis like NaOH are involved, hence, the mixture is also basic in nature.
