The drain in your kitchen sink becomes plugged with solid

The drain in your kitchen sink becomes plugged with solid fat such as glyceryl tristearate. How does adding Draino®, a strong NaOH lye, help unclog your drain? If there were 10g of glyceryl tristearate how much 0.500M NaOH would you need to add?
