Question

Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water? will a micelle be formed in all types of solvents? justify your answer?

Answer 1

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. ... It will form in such type of solvent where soap is insoluble in that particular solvent.

In 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.
