Organic Synthesis Intermediate (High School) 60 मिनट ~$10.00

उद्देश्य

ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स में एस्टर बंधों के जलापघटन का प्रदर्शन करते हुए, सोडियम हाइड्रॉक्साइड के साथ वनस्पति तेल के साबुनीकरण द्वारा साबुन बनाएं।

पृष्ठभूमि

Saponification is the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of a fat or oil (triglyceride) to produce glycerol and soap (sodium salts of fatty acids). This ancient chemical reaction is the basis of all soap manufacturing and demonstrates ester bond cleavage.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • Concentrated NaOH is extremely corrosive
  • Wear nitrile gloves and goggles at all times
  • Hot oil and NaOH can cause severe burns
  • Do not use the soap on skin until it has fully cured (4-6 weeks)

आवश्यक PPE

goggles gloves lab_coat

सामग्री

  • Vegetable oil (olive or coconut) (20 mL)
  • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (10 mL)
    6M solution
  • Ethanol (10 mL)
    To help mix oil and base
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) (15 g)
    Saturated solution for salting out
  • Distilled water (100 mL)

उपकरण

250 mL beaker Hot plate Glass stirring rod Cheesecloth or filter Mold (small cup)

प्रक्रिया

1

Heat 20 mL of vegetable oil in the beaker to about 40°C on the hot plate.

3 मिनट
2

Mix 10 mL of 6M NaOH with 10 mL ethanol in a separate container.

2 मिनट NaOH is corrosive
3

Slowly add the NaOH/ethanol mixture to the warm oil while stirring continuously.

3 मिनट Hot caustic mixture
4

Continue heating and stirring at 60-70°C for 20 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and opaque (trace).

20 मिनट
5

Add 50 mL of saturated NaCl solution to salt out the soap. Stir and allow to cool.

10 मिनट
6

Filter the solid soap through cheesecloth. Press out excess liquid.

5 मिनट
7

Mold the soap into a shape and allow to dry for 24 hours.

3 मिनट Do not use on skin until fully cured
8

Test a small piece by dissolving in warm water — it should produce lather.

3 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

A solid, white to cream-colored soap that lathers when dissolved in water. The soap may feel slightly slippery, indicating successful saponification. Full curing takes 4-6 weeks to neutralize any remaining NaOH.

सफाई

Neutralize any remaining NaOH solution with vinegar before disposal. Rinse all glassware. Wipe down work surfaces.
