Lipids: Saponification of Triacylglycerides

In this brief video, we will go over the creation of Soap from fats or lipids specifically triacylglycerides. When a triacylglycerides is heated in the presence of a strong base such as NaOH or KOH it will break apart into 3 salts of fatty acids (Carboxylate salts) and a glycerol molecule. 0:00 Introduction to Soap Making and the Reaction 2:21 Example of Saponification 3:40 Creating Salts of Fatty Acids #chemistry #collegechemistry #introduction #introductoryorganic #generalchemistry #help #chemistryclasses #itsdrdan #fcc #fresnocitycollege #fresnochemistry #CHEM3B #chemistrynotes #passchemistry #apchemistry #ibchemistry #introductorybiochem #GOBchemistry
