__________________________
Scum is an insoluble precipitate of calcium and magnesium salts of fatty acids formed by the reaction of soap with hard water.
Hard water often contains salts of calcium and magnesium. Soap molecules react with the salts of calcium and magnesium and form a precipitate. This precipitate begins floating as an off-white layer over water. This layer is called scum. Soaps lose their cleansing property in hard water because of formation of scum.
When a soap is used in hard water, a solid substance we call scum forms. This is because charged calcium and magnesium particles (called ions ) present in the water react with soap to form an insoluble substance. Scum builds up on clothes, baths and sinks. Detergents do not form scum.
