Question

7. What is the difference between the molecules of soaps and detergents, chemically?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soap molecules are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. They form scum upon reaction with calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water. Detergent molecules are ammonium or sulphonate salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. They do not form insoluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions.

chemicals include the chemical elements, such as zinc, helium, and oxygen; compounds made from elements including water, carbon dioxide, and salt; and more complex materials like your computer, air, rain, a chicken, a car, etc.

3. They have a tendency to form scum in a hard water environment.

DETERGENT

1. They do not lose their effectiveness in hard water and saline water.
2. Detergents containing a branched hydrocarbon chain are non-biodegradable.
3. These compounds do not form scum.
