Answers
Explanation:

Answer:
Machanism of cleaning Action of soap____
1) A molecule of soap has two dissimilar ends. The hydrophobic end of the hydrocarbon chain is
water repellent, while the hydrophilic end is polar and water soluble due to presence of carboxylate anion.
2) When a soap is dissolved in water, many molecules come together and form a group called micelle because their hydrocarbon chain come together and the polar ends are projected outward.
3) When a cloth with a spot of oil and dirt is soaked into the soap solution, soap dissolved a tiny oil droplets by the hydrophobic end in the middle of the micelle. Due to the outwardly projected polar ends, these micelles dissolved in water and are washed away. Thus the clothes get cleaned.
