Water alone does not easily remove grease from dishes or hands because grease is nonpolar and water is polar. The addition of soap to water, however, allows the grease to dissolve. Study the structure of sodium stearate (a soap) and describe how its structure allows it to interact with both nonpolar grease and polar water. CH3(CH2)16C-0 Na+
