Answer:
Soap is made up of sodium or potassium salt
Explanation:
Soap is made up of sodium or potassium salt and we also combine some organic acid with an alkali. We prepared soap from oils or fats. Those oils can be like palm oil, castor oil, olive oil, or any animal fat and these can be used in the manufacture of soap. Soap is made up of molecules so that molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain, we called it tail and so it also has a head that is carboxylate.
