Explain the cleansing action of a soap. Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer.

HITESHSETH: Soap it is soudium or potassium salt of fatty acid.

HITESHSETH: Cleaning action of a soap---> A shop molecule consists of two dissimilar parts. (1). A short ionic part comprising the carboxylate salt. This is the polar end. This is water soluble (i.e., hydrophilic or water attracting) and, therefore remains attached to water. (2). A long hydrocarbon chain which is the non -polar end. This end is hydrophobic (i.e., water repelling) and is soluble in oils and grease.

Here Is Your AnSweR;-

_________________________________________

The Molecules Of soap are sodium or pottassium salts of long chain carboxylic acids. The ionic end of soap dissolves in water while the carbon chain dissolves in oil.

The soap molecules thus form structure called micelles where one end of Molecules is towards the oil droplet while the ionic end faces outside. This forms an emulsion in water.

The soap micelles thus helps in dissolving the dirt particle in water and we can wash our clothes clean.
