Chemistry

slava [35]3 years ago
4 0
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted into soap and glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Since this reaction leads to the formation of soap, it is called the Saponification Process.

A reaction is occurring in a test tube. How is heat transmitted to the surroundings?
Cerrena [4.2K]

It should be noted that when a  reaction is occurring in a test tube, heat transmitted to the surroundings when Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside.

<h3>What is heat?</h3>

Heat can be regarded as a form of energy which is energy that is been transferred as a result of difference in temperature.

In the case above, Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside which is an exothermic reaction.

Therefore, option B is correct.
