उत्तर १
Mechanism of cleansing actum of soaps
Soap and detergents have two parts, a long chain, of hydrocarbon tail soluble in oil and other part (head) soluble in water
- When soap is added to an oily part of cloth as a vessel, the hydrocarbon part of the soap dissolves in oil and the ionic end of the soap dissolves in water.
- The soap molecules form micelles where one of the molecules is towards the oil droplet, while the ionic end faces outside.
- This results in an emulsion in water.
- The soap micelles assist in dissolving the dirt in water. Thus we can wash our clothes.
