what do soaps used for cleaning consist of?
Soaps used for cleaning purposes are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids, e.g., stearic, oleic and palmitic acids
111
how are soaps containing sodium salts formed?
Soaps containing sodium salts are formed by heating fat (i.e., glyceryl ester of fatty acid) with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. This reaction is known as saponification
112
esters of fatty acids are _______ and the soap obtained remains in _____ form how is that soap precipitated? and what does the solution then contains?
esters of fatty acids are hydrolysed and the soap obtained remains in colloidal form. It is precipitated from the solution by adding sodium chloride. The solution left after removing the soap contains glycerol, which can be recovered by fractional distillation.

Only sodium and potassium soaps are soluble in water and are used for cleaning purposes.
114
generally which soap is softer to the skin? pottasium or sodium
Generally, potassium soaps are soft to the skin than sodium soaps.
114
generally which soap is softer to the skin? pottasium or sodium
Generally, potassium soaps are soft to the skin than sodium soaps.
115
how are toilet soaps made?
Toilet soaps are prepared by using better grades of fats and oils and care is taken to remove excess alkali.
116
Transparent soaps are made by solvent.?!
Transparent soaps are made by dissolving the soap in ethanol and then evaporating the excess solvent.
117
what do shaving soaps contain and why?
Shaving soaps contain glycerol to prevent rapid drying. A gum called, rosin is added while making them. It forms sodium rosinate which lathers well
118

Soap powders and scouring soaps contain some soap, a scouring agent (abrasive) such as powdered pumice or finely divided sand, and builders like sodium carbonate and trisodium phosphate
120
why are scums a hindrance to good washing
these are hinderance to good washing, because the precipitate adheres onto the fibre of the cloth as gummy mass. Hair washed with hard water looks dull because of this sticky precipitate. Dye does not absorb evenly on cloth washed with soap using hard water, because of this gummy mass
121
what is an anionic detergent? and how are they formed?
Anionic detergents are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons. Alkyl hydrogensulphates formed by treating long chain alcohols with concentrated sulphuric acid are neutralised with alkali to form anionic detergents

true
124

Cationic detergents are quarternary ammonium salts of amines with acetates, chlorides or bromides as anions
125
Cationic part possess a
Cationic part possess a long hydrocarbon chain and a positive charge on nitrogen atom
126

formation of anionic detergents reactions
128
non-ionic detergent formation reaction eg
129
eg of non ionic detergent

130
how does the non ionic detegents work?
Mechanism of cleansing action of this type of detergents is the same as that of soaps. These also remove grease and oil by micelle formation.
131
whats the main problem with the use of detergents
The main problem that appears in the use of detergents is that if their hydrocarbon chain is highly branched, then bacteria cannot degrade this easily
