Saponification is a chemical reaction _____. A. due to the presence of a strong organic acid. B. that results in an alcohol and
a carboxylic acid. C. that explains why soap does not wash off easily in hard water. D. that always results directly in a soap.
1 answer:
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:

Answer : The mass of of water present in the jar is, 298.79 g
Solution : Given,
Mass of barium nitrate = 27 g
The solubility of barium nitrate at is 9.02 gram per 100 ml of water.
As, 9.02 gram of barium nitrate present in 100 ml of water
So, 27 gram of barium nitrate present in of water
The volume of water is 299.33 ml.
As we know that the density of water at is 0.9982 g/ml
Now we have to calculate the mass of water.
Therefore, the mass of of water present in the jar is, 298.79 g
