Answer / hetal
NaOH is used foer generally saponification so due to
reactivity of NaOH may be saponify total oil instead of fat
only so KOH is use for nuetralisation.

NaOH cannot be used because it is highly hygroscopic in nature.Due to which it attains extra water and affect the neutralization process.Consequently acid value changes.

What is positive testing in relation to chemistry? For example, the sentence reads "Sample solutions are solutions known to contain one of each of the following ions, silver ion, Ag+(aq), barium ion, Ba2+(aq), and iron (III) ion, Fe3+(aq). Testing solutions are the solutions containing a polyatomic ion that can react with one of the metal ions to give a positive test." I am then asked to define what a "positive test" is. I am currently a student who is pretty new to chemistry, please try and make your answer as simply as possible. Thanks for the help.
