Vedclass · Answer

(B) Fats are esters of higher fatty acids with glycerol. When fats undergo alkaline hydrolysis (saponification) using a strong base like $NaOH$ or $KOH$,they break down into glycerol and the sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. These salts of fatty acids are known as soaps. The reaction is represented as: $CH_2OCOR-CHOCOR-CH_2OCOR + 3NaOH \rightarrow CH_2OH-CHOH-CH_2OH + 3RCOONa$ (Fat + Base $\rightarrow$ Glycerol + Soap)
