In this video we will be discussing saponification - production of soaps from triglycerides. The video also explores the structure and action of soaps and various types of synthetic detergents, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

00:00 Triglyceride, glycerol and fatty acids
03:22 Saponification
04:18 Structure of Soap
04:50 Action of Soap
06:30 Saponification in the Classroom
07:25 Properties of Soap
08:54 Detergents
11:26 Comparing Soaps with Detergents
• investigate the structural formulae, properties and functional group including:
- esters
• investigate the structure and action of soaps and detergents
What soaps? What are detergents? Soaps and detergent comparison and discussion. How to produce soaps from fats? What is saponification? What are the different types of detergents?
There is a small mistake in this video - the systematic name of glycerol is 1,2,3-propantriol (not 1,2,3-tripropanol). Sorry for the confusion.

Amazing! Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Great video !!! Few questions for you if you don't mind.
1) Structurally, soaps and detergents are so similar but perform differently, why ?
- Is it just the hydrophilic group being different that makes this difference.
- Are there other compounds present which are responsible for these differences?
2) What makes synthetic non-biodegradable, despite similar structure ?
-Isn't the hydrophobic tail the same, so is it because of the hydrophilic side?
3) Also, what makes the charge on the hydrophilic head (anionic or cationic or non-ionic) make such a difference in terms of their applications/uses ?
4) Generally speaking, which is harsher on skin ?
- I'm assuming detergents.
Thank You
1) Soaps and detergents differ in their water-loving parts, affecting their performance.
2) Non-biodegradable detergents resist breaking down due to complex water-loving components.
3) The charge on detergent's water-loving part determines its use.
4) Generally, detergents are harsher on the skin than soaps.
you're a life saver
cheers mate
Good job.. I like to know about chemistry of rubber
very informative
very informative, thank you!!
Very explicit!
Thanks😁
@3:02 what's the difference between OH and HO?
They're the same (hydroxide) but drawing C-O-H rather than C-H-O is more. Since hydrogen can only form one bond, we usually denote it as HO in organic chemical structures.
Eximious
