Explanation:
An equation that consists of same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is known as a balanced chemical equation.
For example,
Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
C = 7
H = 6
O = 3
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
C = 1
H = 2
O = 3
Therefore, to balance this chemical equation we multiply by 8 on reactant side. Whereas we multiply
by 7 and
by 3 on product side.
Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.
Answer:
that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
Explanation:
Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.
For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH] is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.
In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.
i.e Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol
As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:
