Logan,
The reaction forms water (H2O) and Sodium Methoxide (CH3ONa) from the
methanol
(CH3OH) and sodium hydroxide
I've searched the archives so please forgive me if I didn't find this
question.
What is the chemical reaction when making methoxide? Why do we not correct
the ph of the oil then add methoxide, made with a standard grams per a
liter?

(CH3OH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
I think part of the answer to your second question is it will make more soaps
(not good) if you adjust the pH first.
