What Is Saponification? A Type Of Chemical Reaction

The experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in

Introduction: In everything there are things called particles; and sometimes when two particles meet a chemical reaction occurs. Also, with different strategies the chemical reaction can be sped up or slowed down. This is measured with reaction rate which is used to measure the length of a chemical reaction.

Using soap is not needed, but if you prefer you can put a small amount of dawn in the water.

Steel wool was used since it is virtually pure iron. In this reaction single displacement had occurred.

Most household cleaning products work by using enzymes. In my house, I found laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, and the soap itself. The

The diverse types of chemical reactions include Combination Reaction, Decomposition Reaction, Displacement Reaction and Oxidation Reaction.

The water and laundry detergent mix had a soapy look to it, water also became cloudy. Bubbles were on top.

They also used urine to clean their teeth. The Roman emperor gaius Caligula made his horse a senate. Women in Ancient Rome used the sweat of gladiators to improve there beauty and complexion. The Statue of Liberty is inspired by the Roman pagan goddess libertas.

1/2 cup Epsom salts- (compound) MgSO4 or Magnesium Sulfate. Epsom Salt is made up of Magnesium with Sulfur with Oxygen4 this means that it is ingredient with more than one element. The epsom salt, is proven to relax the muscles and the tendent that are stressed. This is very important in a bath bomb because a lot of people go with the relaxing train of though, and the epsom salt relaxes the bones and muscles.

This paper is about chemical reactions and chemical reaction types. All the data gathered was from conducting multiple experiments. Each experiment was performed carefully and analyzed to obtain the necessary information for the paper. That information included the four signs of a chemical change, the rnx type, and more.

Martin Novick Group 14, Chemical Engineering Laboratory Submitted to Prof. David B. Henthorn September 25, 2012 Summary The goal of this project was to determine the pre-exponential factor, k o , the activation energy, E, and the reaction rate constants, k, of the saponification process of ethyl acetate using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 5 temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Two trails were performed at temperatures 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 degrees Celsius. The main equipment of the project were the jacketed beaker batch reactor and the LabPro conductivity probe. The solution’s conductivity throughout the reaction was collected and plotted in a linearized plot against time to

As shown in Table 3.0, it was difficult to stir and combine the shortening and the lard with the sodium hydroxide and glycerol. Though the oil-based soaps were easy to make, they did not yield as much compared to the fat-based soaps. Table 6.0 shows that Soap 3 which was shortening based and Soap 4 which was lard based produced 11.18 g and 11.22 g, respectively. This was a much greater yield than the oil based soaps. Soap 1 which used olive oil yielded 3.154 grams and soap 2 using vegetable oil yielded 1.319 grams. This was something to consider when choosing which starting material to use and depends on whether ease of synthesis or greater yield is more important. The detergent synthesis methods were very similar but method 2 took less steps and was a bit easier than method 1. Table 6.0 shows that detergent 2 had a greater yield, 5.143 grams whereas detergent 1 had a yield of about 4 grams. The lathering test showed that though soaps 3 and 4 produced the most product of the soaps, they did not create many bubbles or a good lather according to Table 7.0. The soaps/detergents that produced the most bubbles were soap 1 which used olive oil followed by detergent 1 and then soap 2

The purpose of this lab was to create soaps and detergents and test their cleaning ability. We created four different soaps and two detergents using different starting materials composed of oils and fats for the soaps and lauryl alcohol and sulfuric acid for the detergents. Soaps are created by a process called saponification, which is the formation of a salt by combing an acid and a base.1 Soap and detergent are effective cleaning agents because they have hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends.1 The hydrophobic ends interact with the dirt and oil while the hydrophilic ends interact with the water molecules effectively washing the dirt and oil away.2 While soaps and detergents are very similar in their cleaning ability, they have a major difference being that soaps are made from natural products and detergents are made from synthetic materials.3 In order to make the soaps, we used four different starting materials including lard, shortening, olive oil, and vegetable oil.
