Question

explain the cleansing action of soap​

Answer 1

Answer:

When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to dirt and remove it from the cloth. First, the molecules of soap arrange themselves in micelle formation and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster. These micelles remain suspended in water like particles in a colloidal solution.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In the case of soaps, the carbon chain dissolves in oil and the ionic end dissolves in water. ... Thus, the soap molecules form structures called micelles. In micelles, one end is towards the oil droplet and the other end which is the ionic faces outside.
