Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 59A
Soaps are the fatty acid salts of alkali metals.
Explanation of Solution
Soaps belong to the class of triglycerides and are fatty acids of sodium, potassium, or lithium salts. The hydrolysis of oils or fats in the presence of an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide is an essential step in the saponification process, which is required in order to produce soap. They are used as cleaning agents to get rid of oil and dirt from clothes and skin.
Conclusion
Soaps are the fatty acid salts of alkali metals.
