(b) Soaps do not work well with hard water, detergents work well with hard water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

functional groups may be defined as an atom or a group of atom which makes a carbon compound ( or organic compounds) reactive and decide its properties ( or functions) regardless of length and nature of carbon chain.

1) alcohol (-OH)

2) carboxylic acid (-COOH)

(B) Soap is made with lye and natural fat. Unlike soap, synthetic detergents contain strong antibacterial agents and preservatives. There is a difference in the way soap and detergents react with hard water. ... Synthetic detergents, such as those used in dishwashers and washing machines, are stronger than natural soap.
