True False

Question

A chemical change occurs during saponification.

Soap is a reactant of the saponification reaction.

Together, the products of a chemical reaction have the same arrangement of atoms as the reactants.

Answer 1

Here are the answers to your statements:

1. A chemical change occurs during saponification.

   • True. Saponification is a chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils react with an alkali, resulting in the formation of soap and glycerin, thus indicating a chemical change.

2. Soap is a reactant of the saponification reaction.

   • False. In the saponification reaction, soap is actually one of the products. The reactants typically include fats or oils and an alkali (like sodium hydroxide).

3. Together, the products of a chemical reaction have the same arrangement of atoms as the reactants.

   • False. In a chemical reaction, the arrangement of atoms changes. While the total number of each type of atom remains the same (due to the Law of Conservation of Mass), their arrangement is different in the products compared to the reactants.
