Answer : The chemical formula of soap is, C_{17}H_{35}COO^-Na^+

Explanation :

Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain of fatty acids that consists 12 to 18 number of carbon atoms.

Soaps are usually made by combining sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) with an animal fat, vegetable oil, or even acetic acid.

The general formula of soap is, RCOO^-Na^+, where 'R' is long chain alkyl group that consist 12 to 18 number of carbon atoms.

The common example of fatty acids which is used in soap is stearic acid having chemical formula C_{17}H_{35}COOH.

So, the sodium salts of this acid is, C_{17}H_{35}COO^-Na^+.
