Soft soaps are potassium salts of higher fatty acid. The given statement is true.
Explanation:
- Soft soaps indeed are the potassium or sodium salts. The higher fatty acids are referred to as the carboxylic acids.
- They usually have long saturated or unsaturated carbon chains which are aliphatic in nature.
- The detergents are also referred to as the potassium or sodium salts of the sulphonic acid.
- Therefore instead of having a carboxylic group attached, they have a sulphonic group attached to them.
- That is why soft soaps have a slightly lower amount of cleansing action as compared to the soaps.
