Question

While studying the saponification reaction, what do you observe when

you mix an equal amount of colourless vegetable oil and 20% aqueous

solution of NaOH in a beaker ?

(A) The colour of the mixture has become dark brown

(B) A brisk effervescence is taking place in the beaker

(C) The outer surface of the beaker has become hot

(D) The outer surface of the beaker has become cold

Answer 1

I think "B": A brisk effervescence should take place coz saponification reaction would give back the alcohol and carboxylic acid.[ DECOMPOSITION IS TAKING PLACE]
