Answer / sa

Soap is nothing but Na+ or k+ salt of fatty acids,and when
saponification occurs then esters of fatty acids and
glycerols are produced. So when NaCl or commom is added
due to common ion effect of Na+, equillibrium is shifted
toward left and esters of fatty acids and glycerols breaks
to produce more fatty acids which then combine with Na+ to
remove excess Na+ from the system
