Saponification
Making Soap
“Soaponification”

Saponification Reaction:
Fat + Lye Soap + Glycerol

Lye - Caustic solution made from ashes.
Soda Lye = NaOH
Potash Lye = KOH
Combining potash K2CO3 with slaked lime Ca(OH)2 yields KOH and CaCO3
NaOH obtained from reacting sodium compounds.

How does it happen?? O
• Break the ester linkages C – O- by hydrolyzing the bonds between the carbon backbone and the fatty acid chains.
• (Reversal of esterification reaction)
• Form the sodium salt of a fatty acid (soap) and a trihydroxy alcohol (glycerol).

• Organic Reaction: Slow!
• Must break covalent bonds.
• Refluxing: Technique which allows a volatile solvent to boil, condense and return to the reaction vessel. It helps to maintain a fairly constant temperature throughout the reaction period.

BUMPING!!!
• When superheated liquids above their boiling point suddenly boil.
• Large bubbles cause liquid to shoot out of container.
• Add boiling chips to prevent bumping.

Strange but true…
Fat in cadavers: saponifies if conditions are right. Alkalai environment, moist, minimal oxygen.
Adipocere or grave wax is formed.
