What is the reaction for saponification?
The general saponification reaction is shown on screen here. As you can see, saponification involves two major players: ester and alkali. Note that one of the products is a carboxylate ion. This is simply a carboxylic acid that carries a negative charge once its proton is removed. Use this ion as an ID marker to help you decide whether or not you are dealing with a saponification reaction.General Equation for SaponificationIf we look at the mechanism, or instruction guide for this reaction, we will see there is a series of steps that must be followed. Those steps, provided with illustrations, are shown here:Step 1: The hydroxide ion from the alkali molecule swoops in and performs a nucleophilic attack on the ester or fatty molecule. Don't be alarmed by the wordnucleophile. It simply refers to a molecule that will form a chemical bond due to its attraction to electrons in a different atom or molecule.Step 1 of the Saponification ReactionStep 2: The OR group becomes a leaving group, following Step 1. OR refers to the oxygen atom bonded to R, which is simply a placeholder for any molecule or atom. Desperately wanting to leave, the OR group departs, causing a double bond to form. This creates a carbonyl group. This new product may look familiar, as it is a carboxylic acid functional group.Step 2 of the Saponification ReactionStep 3: Not able to leave alone, the OR group plucks the proton (H) from carboxylic acid. This process of removing a proton from a molecule is called deprotonation. Once deprotonated, the final products, carboxylate and alcohol, are formed.Step 3 of the Saponification Reaction
Antibacterial soap allergic reaction?
I hope you've stopped using that stuff by now. I can think of a couple reasons why that soap is bad for you. The thing that makes it antibacterial is triclosan. This is a controversial ingredient that, in addition to causing allergic symptoms, is a hormone disruptor. Not good. It's actually banned in a number of counties. Another ingredient that could cause this problem is the DMDM hydantoin. This releases formaldehyde... you know, like embalming fluid. People are also allergic to this. "Fragrance" can mean anything, so it could also be a problem, but the other two are biggies. Discontinue use, throw that junk out, and get some kind of lotion to heal your hands. But get something simple--with just a few ingredients, and preferably nothing with a scary name that you don't understand. Most of the stuff at a regular pharmacy is full of stuff I don't like. If Vaseline doesn't bother you, go for that. I like Shea Moisture lotions. Ask around the store for their more natural products. As for another antibacterial soap... It's hard since so many of them contain gross things that caused this problem in the first place. I've never gotten a tattoo, so I don't know if there are certain guidelines for aftercare soap, but for most things, a regular soap actually works just fine. Keeping it clean in general is enough. I would suggest using a soap you already have and know doesn't cause you problems. If you do end up with an obvious infection, then I would ask the tattoo parlor if you can use something like Neosporin. Seems that some places tell you to, and others tell you not to. That's why I would call the place that did it. I hope your hands heal up. Good luck!
What different reactions can your face have to antibacterial soap?
There are a number of different reactions that can occur. Your skin could have an allergic reaction which would cause a break out of the skin such as rashes, red or white spots. It can also cause your skin to dry out if it’s too harsh for your skin. Your best bet to avoid all of these potential issues is to just use an all natural bar of soap. Something that has no chemical base in it, you can try using Euphoric Organics Raw hemp bar. Its sent free and good for even the most sensitive skin.www.Euphoric-Organics.com
How is soap manufactured?
At its heart, soap is a chemical reaction between sodium hydroxide (lye) and fixed oils. The result is a chemical process called saponification, where the composition of the oils change with the help of the lye to create a bar of soap.The pH of the product gets quite high (over 14) and requires safety considerations like gloves and goggles. It’s also key if you’re soaping at home and not in a manufacturing facility to make sure kids, pets, and other distractions and tripping hazards are out of the house or don’t have access to your soaping space. Always soap in a well-ventilated area.I made the soap below (tutorial here). It’s a really simple recipe - just olive oil + water + sodium hydroxide.35 oz. Pure Olive Oil 4.6 oz. Sodium Hydroxide Lye9.2 oz Distilled Water (20% water discount)To make the soap, you’d want to learn more about the chemical reaction and how to do the mixing (chemical and heat resistant bowls and utensils; stick blender), as well as how long the soap takes to cure and dry (4 to 6 weeks).It’s a simple process once you learn how to do it. Just make sure you’re doing it safely =)
My dog is having an allergic reaction to the dish soap i bathed her with, what can i do to help her?
I live in the country and my westie likes to roam around outside swimming in our ponds, chasing rabbits, etc. The other day she got into a batch of stick tights so I decided to give her a bath and clean her up. I ran out of dog shampoo so I used dish soap on her. I've used it on other dogs in the past and it actually worked great. But now my westie seems to have developed some type of allergic reaction to it. She's been chewing on the base of her tail/rear since yesterday (bathed on Wed. night) and huge clumps of hair are coming out. My vet is out until Monday so all i get there is a recording. Can I either bathe her with something that will help her or is there something topical I can apply to that area. I know I can give benadryl but i was wanting something that would actually bring permanent relief to her skin. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Needless to say, I will not be using dish soap ever again.
How do I separate soap and water from a soapy solution?
Soap is prepared by hydrolysing triglycerides using alkalies. This reaction is known as saponification. Soap is nothing but sodium or potassium salt of higher carboxylic acids.In the saturated solution of soap equillibrium is established.R-COONa<==>RCOO- + Na+To this solution saturated solution of NaCl is added ,which ionises completely as follows.NaCl——>Na+ + Cl-Na+ ions are common to both electrolytes,thus its concentration increases. According to Le-chatelier’s principle equillibrium get shifted towards left,hence solid soap get precipitated.This process is known as salting out of soap.
Why soap solution is taken in the reaction of zinc granules with dilute sulphuric acid to test Hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen gas liberated after the reaction between zn granules and dil h2so4, if passed in the soap solution, the soap bubbles will rise further up and if we introduce a burning splinter to the bubble it bursts with a pop sound showing the presence of hydrogen which is lighter than air.
Is it safe to use soap on the head of the penis?
If you're circumcised, yeah, go ahead. The glans of a circumcised penis is keratinized and gets so much rough treatment (even just rubbing against your underwear throughout the course of a day) that a little soap, as long as it's meant for the body, won't do any harm — even if it's a bit drying. If you're uncircumcised, you might want to use a gentler, hypoallergenic soap with no artificial dyes and colors. The glans and inner foreskin of an uncircumcised penis can be as sensitive to chemicals as the inside of your mouth. To avoid irritation, you don't want to use anything that will dry the area out or leave any soap residue between your glans and foreskin.
I washed my face with some zest soap. a couple of hours later my face was swollen and broken out. What do I do
sounds like a nasty allergic reaction.... don't apply anything to your face-this includes allergy creams like hydrocortisone or benadryl creams. they could actually make the rash worse. take oral bendadryl tablets. 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. if after 24 hours of using the benadryl-the rash is still present and your face is still burning-then make an appt to see your dr. you might need antibiotics to get rid of the rash-sometimes allergic reactions are so severe, only antibiotics can treat them in the future don't use the zest again and you might want to check the label and compare it with other soaps-if they have the same ingredients then it's probably best to avoid them as well. i've found dove and ivory to work best on faces-they don't contain harsh perfumes or dyes and won't irritate your skin
Is there a way to turn bar soaps into candles?
Just use a double boiler to melt them. I think I would add some wax to the mix, not sure how much, just try and see. Pour the melted soap/wax into candle molds after you have the wick situated down the middle. Give them a while to cool (maybe an hour). Light one and see if it is what you were after. For the first time, just make one or two so you can find out if it will work the way you want it to. We save our old soap and melt the little bars together and pour them out into soap molds to make new bars. Kinda fun.
