9. In the past, soap was made by mixing animal fats with alkaline and wood ashes
10. Large-scale commercial soapmaking occurred in 1791 when a French Chemist, Nicholas Leblanc patented a process for making soda ash or sodium carbonate from common salt. The process yielded large quantities of quality soda ash.
11. Soap can be prepared through saponification. Use a flow chart to show soap preparation process in the laboratory, starting with the raw materials. Include any relevant chemical equation.
12. Oils and fats are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids.
13. It made up through heating oils or fats with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
14. The oil or fat molecules are “broken up” or hydrolyzed to glyce ro l and fatty acids.
38. When the cloth is rinsed with water, the droplets will be carried away
39. Heating and stirring may help to loosen the dirt particles from the material being washed
