the cleaning capacity of soap in hard and soft water is when soap is mixed in hard water it produces a leather white form which is known as come but when it is mixed with soft water it doesn't produce a nice come but it produces form as it is mixed into the soft water

Hey Mate

here is ur answer.....

Soap is the potassium or sodium salt of long chain carboxylic acid. The basic structure consists of a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon end and a hydrophilic anionic end. The hydrophobic end is the tail whereas the hydrophilic end is the head. Emulsion in water is formed when the ionic end of soap molecule is towards water and the non ionic end of soap molecule is towards oil.

What is soft water?

The water which has no salt in it is called soft water. When soap is used in soft water it generates foam which is a cleansing property and removes dirt particles from clothes. Therefore, this water is suitable for washing.

What is hard water?

The water which has dissolved salts such as calcium or magnesium in it is called hard water. When soap is used in soft water it does not generate foam. Therefore, this water is unsuitable for washing.

Procedure 1: hard water

Take a test tube and mark it as X.

Add 10 mL of soft water in it.

Take another test tube and mark it Y.

Add 10 mL of hard water in the test tube Y.

Add a few drops of soap solution in both the test tubes.

Shake test tube X and Y strongly for equal amount of time.

Place both the test tubes in the test tube stand.

Observe and record the results.

Observation and results:

Test tube

Observation

X  - Forms lather

Y -  White precipitate is formed

Results:

The test tube which is marked X forms foam when mixed with soap solution.

The test tube which is marked Y does not form foam but forms a white precipitate when mixed with soap solution.

Procedure 2: Soft water

Take a test tube and mark it as P.

Add 10 mL of soft water in it.

Add one drop of cooking oil.

Take a test tube and mark it as Q.

Add 10 mL of hard water in it.

Add one drop of cooking oil.

Add a few drops of soap solution to P and Q.

Shake test tube P and Q strongly for equal amount of time.

Place both the test tubes in the test tube stand.

Observe and record the results.

Observation and results:

Test tube

Observation

P  - Oil emulsifies

Q  - No emulsification

Results:

The test tube which is marked P emulsifies due to the presence of soap solution.

The test tube which is marked Q does not emulsify due to the presence of soap solution.
