Question

write the mechanism of the cleansing action of soaps

Answer 1

Hey there
Explain the mechanism of the cleaning action of soaps.

Answer:-

Cleansing action of soaps:
The dirt present on clothes is organic in nature and insoluble in water. Therefore, it cannot be removed by only washing with water. When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to the dirt and remove it from the cloth. Then, the molecules of soap arrange themselves in micelle formation and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster. These micelles remain suspended in the water. Hence, the dust particles are easily rinsed away by water

Hope it help

Answer 2

in simple language
they form miselles to remove dirt.
of which one side is positively charged ions which is called as hydrophilic (water lover)and other end is hydrophobic (water heater).
the hydrophobic part get attached inside the oil particle or dirt and hydrophilic moves towards water. and when we pull them the dirt particles are removed as they attached to hydrophobic parts .


hope this will give u a proper idea about the answer of this question
