Ethanol with chemical formula of C2H5OH is also known as Ethyl alcohol.

Explanation:

  • The reaction between oil and NaOH or sodium hydroxide is also known as the process of Saponification.
  • The mixture of ethanol and water is completely homogenous, miscible and soluble in all proportions.
  • A mixture of ethanol and water is used to perform this reaction of Saponification is because this mixture of ethanol plus water prevents fat from reacting with oxygen present in the air.
  • Since this mixture is less polar than water it will help to dissolve all the non-polar fats present, making its reaction with Sodium hydroxide easier.

While water and oil cannot mix, ethanol can dissolve in water and oil to a limited extent.

What is ethanol?

Ethanol is the simplest alcohol with the chemical formula of C2H5OH.

The process of mixing oil in water is called saponification in the process of saponification we use ethanol to get mixed oil with water.

The reaction of fatty acid with sodium hydroxide to create water, soap, salt, and fatty acids are aided by this procedure.

This is used in the process of making soaps, salts, and fatty acids.

Thus, ether is used in the process to mix oil with water.
