Question

What are micelles ? Why does it form when soap is added to water ? Will a micelle be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also ? State briefly how the formation of micelles help to clean the clothes having oily spots.

Answer 1

Soap (also detergent) molecules have two ends, hydrophobic and hydrophyllic. The characteristics of Hydrophobic ends are non-polar, water repelling and dirt attracting. They are made up of hydrocarbons and stick on the dirt. The characteristics of Hydrophyllic ends are polar, water attracting, ionic. These are made up of ions of metals like sodium, potassium, etc. They attract water. When force is applied on the dirt, these hydrophobic end which are stuck on the dirt, pull it, removing the dirt from the material

Answer 2

Explanation:

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
