Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether sodium propanoate is as effective a soap as sodium stearate is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Soap is the cleansing agent that is formed by the action of alkali on fatty acids and it consists of sodium or potassium salts of those fatty acids. The carbon chain dissolves the oil and dust particles and the ionic part dissolves in water and therefore micelle formation occurs due to which soap has cleansing properties.
