उत्तर
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids. Since sodium and potassium hydroxides are bases, their solutions in water are alkaline.
Dissolution of sodium or potassium hydroxide in water evolves a large amount of heat. Thus, saponification reactions are exothermic in nature.
Common salt is added in a saponification reaction, as it helps in the precipitation of a soap by decreasing the solubility of the soap.
Thus, statements I, II and IV are correct.
