How do the soap molecules behave in aqueous solution during washing?
Answers
Explanation:
The water-loving (hydrophilic) part of the soap molecules sticks to the water and points outwards, forming the outer surface of the micelle. The oil-loving (hydrophobic) parts stick to the oil and trap oil in the center where it can't come into contact with the water.
Answer:
Soap can mix with both water and with oil. ... When greasy dirt or oil is mixed with soapy water, the soap molecules arrange themselves into tiny clusters called micelles. The water-loving (hydrophilic) part of the soap molecules sticks to the water and points outwards, forming the outer surface of the micelle.
Explanation:
Adding soap lowers the water's surface tension so the drop becomes weaker and breaks apart sooner. Making water molecules stick together less is what helps soaps clean dishes and clothes more easily.
