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: 17.6×10^-3g of CO2
Explanation:
We first look at the stoichiometry of the balanced reaction equation. One mole of methane produces one mole of carbon dioxide. Hence 16g of methane yields 44g of carbon dioxide. If we now composed this with the given 6.40×10^-3g of methane as shown in the solution attached, we obtain the answer stated above.
