Question

Explain the mechanism of micelle formation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of fatty acid and may be represented as RCOO- Na (e.g. sodium stearate, (CH3(CH2)16COO-Na+]) . Whendissolved into water , it dissociates into RCOO- and Na+ ions

The RCOO-ion consists of two parts – long hydrocarbon chain (also called non – polar tail) which is hydrophobic (water repelling ) and a polar group COO- (polar head) which is hydrophilic (water loving )

At higher concentrations(CMC) RCOO- ions form an aggregate of spherical shape with the hydrocarbon chains pointing towards the centre and the COO- part facing outward on the surface of the sphere. This aggregate is called ionic micelle. It may have as many as 100 ions

Answer 2

Explanation:

soap molecules have different properties as their two ends at one end is hydrophilic soluble in water and other is hydrophobic soluble in fat oil at the surface of water the hydrochloric and ortel of soap are insoluble in water and the soul will elegant along the surface of water with the ionic and in water and the hydrocarbon tail producing auto water inside water is molecule show a unique orientations that keeps the hydrocarbon portion out of the water this is done by forming clusters of molecules in which the hydrophobic tales are in the interior of the cluster and one of the surface of cluster ionic bonds are presentthis formation of clash of molecules is called Michael to wash away the laws and dirt particles in the form of Michaels from the surface of the cloth it is easier script mechanical your beta 9 educated in washing machine in the form of a microscope is equal to clean since the old is being connected in the centre of Michael Michael stairs calories in the solution and does not come together to precipitate due to i9 represents hence the dirt suspended in the Michaels is also easily things away
