During the preparation of soap the addition of common salt allows the precipitation of soap . Expalin the principle involved (Soap is the sodium salt of carboxylic acid ).

Answer» The addition of comon salt results in the addition of `Na^(+)` ions. Equilibrium exist between sodium and stearate ions. The addition of `Na^(+)` ions shifts the equilibrium towards left thus sodium stearte precipitates.
`RCOO^(-)Na^(+) hArr RCOO^(-)+Na^(+)`.
