What is dirt? How do water, soaps and detergents combine to remove dirt
from fabrics?
Answers
Answer:
Dirt here refers to the oil or grease or fat or any lipid which are temporarily attached on the fabrics. It is removed through the process of cleansing action of soap which involves the following steps :
,dirt are generally hydrophobic in nature therefore they do not mix with water and forms different layers
,soap breaks the oils into smaller drops which can mix with water it works because they have different molecular ends
hydrophobic sticks with the oil and hydrophyllic end stick out of the water
This oil drop gets removed with water
Answer: this process is called soupnification.
Explanation: soupnification is the process of by which triglycerides are reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide to produce glycerol, fatty acid salts called soup.the are most often animal fats or vegetable oils. when sodium hydroxide is used a hard soup is produced.soups are fatty acids, fatty acids are monocarboxylic acids that have long carbon chains. when the soup is combined with water the one end of the chains connect with water and the other end of the chain is connected with the dirt; hence the dirt is removed from fabrics.this process is called soupnification.
