Question

Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water?will a micelle be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also?

Answer 1

Soap molecule consist of two parts, one hydrophillic and other one is hydrophobic Hydrophobic part of soap is dissolved with dirt molecule and hydrophillic remains suspended in water. Thus more molecules of soap are attached to dirt having their one end suspended in water to form a micelle. Since ethanol is not as polar as soap micelle will not be formed in other solvents such as ethanol.

Answer 2

Miscelle is formed only with soap is added to water because the Miscelle has 2 ends the tail and the head. The tail is Hydro phobic and head is hydrophillic. The tail traps the oil ( dirt) and the head getsixed in the water a and so the Miscelle is formed.
No not in case of ethanol as it is alcohol and alcohol is dissolvable in water easily only if their is dirt Miscelle is formed and not in any other case
