The reaction of sodium metasilicate with sodium hydroxide produces sodium orthosilicate and water. The reaction is:

Na2SiO3 + 2 NaOH → Na4SiO4 + H2O

Saponification is another word for base catalyzed hydrolysis. Palmitate is a C16 linear carboxylic acid. Glyceryl triplamitate is shown below on the left side of the equation and the hydrolysis products, glycerol and sodium palmitate, are shown on the right.

It reacts with sodium hydroxide to give ammonium hydroxide which furthur decomposes to evolve ammonia gas. This test is often used to detect the presence of ammonium ion. The reaction is as follows ——-
