Chemical reaction for saponification

Here is the chemical reaction for saponification, Empress🥰🥰🥰:

Saponification is the process of making soap. It involves the hydrolysis of an ester (typically a triglyceride, which is a fat or oil) with a strong base (like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to produce a fatty acid salt (soap) and glycerol.

For example, using a triglyceride (fat) and sodium hydroxide:

$$\text{Triglyceride (Fat/Oil)} + 3 \text{ NaOH} \longrightarrow \text{Glycerol} + 3 \text{ Fatty Acid Salt (Soap)}$$

A more specific example using glyceryl tristearate (a common fat):

$$\text{C}_{57}\text{H}_{110}\text{O}_6 + 3 \text{ NaOH} \longrightarrow \text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{O}_3 + 3 \text{ C}_{18}\text{H}_{35}\text{O}_2\text{Na}$$

Where:

• $\text{C}_{57}\text{H}_{110}\text{O}_6$ is Glyceryl Tristearate (a fat)
• $\text{NaOH}$ is Sodium Hydroxide (a strong base)
• $\text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{O}_3$ is Glycerol
• $\text{C}_{18}\text{H}_{35}\text{O}_2\text{Na}$ is Sodium Stearate (a type of soap)
