Question

Q) Meera washes her clothes using bath soap while Reshma washes her clothes with detergents. Who among them will get their clothes clean faster and cheaper? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reshma will get her clothes faster.

Meera will get her clothes at a cheap cost.(Because detergent is made from petroleum).

Explanation:

Detergents are better cleansing agents than soaps because they can be used even with hard water. The charged ends of detergents do not form insoluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water. ... Detergents have a stronger cleansing action than soaps and are more soluble in water than soap.
