Write the cleaning action of soap
  • 4 answers

When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to dirt and remove it from the cloth. First, the molecules of soap arrange themselves in micelle formation and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster. These micelles remain suspended in water like particles in a colloidal solution. The various micelles present in water do not come together to form a precipitate as each micelle repels the other because of the ion-ion repulsion. Thus, the dust particles remain trapped in micelles (which remain suspended) and are easily rinsed away with water. Hence, soap micelles remove dirt by dissolving it in water. HoPe It HeLpS yOu??

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

The cleansing action of both soapsand detergents results from their ability to lower the surface tension of water, to emulsify oil or grease and to hold them in a suspension in water. This ability is due to the structure ofsoaps and detergents. In water, a sodium soap dissolves to form soapanions and sodium cations.
