heya dear !!
here your answer goes like this .........
hey !!
CH3COONa is a soap which was originally the name given to the whole product of alkali hydrolysis of fat.
Fatty acids got their name, and pointed out here “propionic” was intended as number 1 in the series, biochemists decided that every intermediate in that line of biosynthesis or breakdown, starting with the 2-carbon acetic acid, would be called a fatty acid as well.
So sodium acetate is the salt of a fatty acid (albeit not a very fatty one), hence a soap.
i hope it helps you
