1
Since the temperature of oils rises quick, heating oil at low temperatures (below 60 C) is
recommended. If the oil is too hot, it will dramatically speed up the saponification process at a
faster rate than usual which causes the soap to separate at the gel phase.

2
There are two phases observed after the addition of NaOH. The phases are coconut oil and
sodium hydroxide.

3
The major component of coconut oil is triglycerides, meanwhile sodium hydroxide contains a
sodium (Na) cation and hydroxide (OH-) anion.

4
The pH of the mixture decreases. This is because the base in the exoeriment, sodium hydroxide,
is continuously being used up in the experiment as it reacts with the coconut oil, thus, lowering
the pH of the reaction.

5
Soap is an effective cleaning agent due to its molecule having a polar and a non-polar part.
