Abstract: Write this in the end, after you complete the report. Basically, you have to summarize the
complete report and fill half page with the summary.

Keywords: Reaction, Organic, Acid, Neutral, Fat, Alkali

Background: What is Saponification? When was it discovered?

Reaction: What is the reaction? What is the mechanism (Post photos and explain the summary)?
What are the products, and how do they differ when ingredients are changed?

Uses: Where is Saponification used? In what industries it is used, and how is it used. Write in bullet
points for good marks.

Advantages: What are the advantages of saponification? Like less reaction time, good quantity and
good quality. What are the main advantages for using the process, like why is it preferred over other
similar reactions?
