प्रश्न
While studying saponification reaction for the preparation of soap, a teacher suggested to a student to add a small quantity of common salt to the reaction mixture. The function of common salt in this reaction is to
(A) reduce the alkalinity of the soap
(B) reduce the acidity of the soap
(C) enhance the cleansing capacity of soap
(D) favour precipitation of soap
उत्तर
Common salt is added in saponification reaction, as it helps in the precipitation of soap by decreasing the solubility of soap.
Hence, the correct option is D.
