why does Micele formation take place when soap is added to water ?will a Micele be formed in over solvent such as ethanol also?
Answers
Answer:
Micelles are form by molecules which have a polar and non-polar sides in a solvent. In a polar solvent such as water, the polar part of the molecule stay outside the micelle and interact with the solvent, while the non-polar part of the molecules interact with themselves forming “cell” walls
the formation of micelle , any solvent can be used which has one hydrophilic and hydrophobic end because without these tail and head parts , micelle will not be formed. In ethanol , micelle cannot be formed because in ethanol soaps get dissolved . It form micelle in water as a solvent.
Answer:
When soap is added to water, micelle formation takes place, this is because the hydrocarbon chains of soap molecules are hydrophobic while the ionic ends are hydrophilic and hence soluble in water. ... No, micelle formation does not take place in ethanol because the alkyl chain of soap becomes soluble in alcohol.
