Question

Draw the structure of pentane explain the mechanism of cleaning action of soap by brainly

Answer 1

Answer:

hey here is your answer

Soap molecule has two ends, the charged end that gets attracted towards water is called hydrophilic and the long carbon chain that repels water is called hydrophobic end. When soap is dissolved in water, the carbon chain i.e., hydrophobic end gets attracted towards the oil, dirt and grease. The hydrophilic end stays away from this. The micelle formation takes place.

The tail entangles dirt, oil or grease, if required the agitation is done. Lot of rinsing is a done with water so that water molecules attract charged (Na+) end and carries the soap molecules with dirt attached to it and clean the clothes, utensils, etc.
