Explanation:
Actually, soap in acidic water just means reactions with the hydrogen ions in acid and whatever other element in the acids is not a matter to be concerned about. For example, sodium stearate C17H35COONa decomposes in in acidic water soap:
C17H35COONaC17H35COO−+H+(from any acid)⟶C17H35COO−(stearate ion)+Na+(sodium ion)⟶C17H35COOH(stearic acid)
Due to the formation of stearic acid, soap cannot act efficiently in acidic water.
