110
Q

what do soaps used for cleaning consist of?

A

Soaps used for cleaning purposes are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids, e.g., stearic, oleic and palmitic acids

111
Q

how are soaps containing sodium salts formed?

A

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
Q

esters of fatty acids are _______ and the soap obtained remains in _____ form

how is that soap precipitated?
and what does the solution then contains?

A

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.

113
Q

why are only potassium and sodium soaps used?

A

Only sodium and potassium soaps are soluble in water and are used for cleaning purposes.

114
Q

generally which soap is softer to the skin? pottasium or sodium

A

Generally, potassium soaps are soft to the skin than sodium soaps.

114
Q

generally which soap is softer to the skin? pottasium or sodium

A

Generally, potassium soaps are soft to the skin than sodium soaps.

115
Q

how are toilet soaps made?

A

Toilet soaps are prepared by using better grades of fats and oils and care is taken to remove excess alkali.

116
Q

Transparent soaps are made by solvent.?!

A

Transparent soaps are made by dissolving the soap in ethanol and then evaporating the excess solvent.

117
Q

what do shaving soaps contain and why?

A

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
Q

Laundry soaps contain

A

Laundry soaps contain fillers like sodium rosinate, sodium silicate, borax and sodium carbonate.

119
Q

Soap powders and scouring soaps contain

A

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
Q

why are scums a hindrance to good washing

A

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
Q

what is an anionic detergent? and how are they formed?

A

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

122
Q

What’s involved in anionic detergents for cleansing actions?

A

the anionic part of the molecule is involved in the cleansing action.

123
Q

anionic detergents are used in toothpaste

true or false

A

true

124
Q

whats cationic detergents?

A

Cationic detergents are quarternary ammonium salts of amines with acetates, chlorides or bromides as anions

125
Q

Cationic part possess a

A

Cationic part possess a long hydrocarbon chain and a positive charge on nitrogen atom

126
Q

What’s used in hair conditioners?

A

Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

127
Q

formation of anionic detergents reactions

A
128
Q

non-ionic detergent formation reaction eg

A
129
Q

eg of non ionic detergent

A

Liquid dishwashing detergents are non-ionic type

130
Q

how does the non ionic detegents work?

A

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
Q

whats the main problem with the use of detergents

A

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
