Describe the saponification process

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.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.

Explanation:

The burning of magnesium in air produces magnesium oxide as shown by the equation;

2Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> 2MgO(s)

The magnesium oxide solid is recovered as a white ash. This is a typical example of an oxidation reaction which is also a combustion reaction.

The reason has nothing at all to do with the assertion hence the answer given.

Magnesium oxide is basic just like the oxides of other metals and dissolves in water to yield an alkali.

Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 43.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of magnesium cube = 217.501 g

Volume of magnesium cube = 5.00 cm³

Density of magnesium cube = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

by putting values,

d = 217.501 g/ 5.00 cm³

d = 43.5 g/cm³
