Oil is insoluble in water (insoluble means it does not dissolve).

∙ 13y agoSoap dissolves better in hot water than cold water.
However, a soap is made out of a non-polar tail which is an oil that easily mixes with oil, and a polar head (salt, or a phosphate) which mixes with water.
Essentially it is a compromise between a substance that dissolves in water, and a substance that dissolves in oil.
It isn't a complete dissolving in water though. Rather the soaps make micelles in water. These are small balls of soap with the non-polar part all in the middle... which is able to capture oils.

∙ 16y agowe all know that soap is a mixture of sodium or potassium salts and long chain organic acids. So the soap molecules have one side that is hydrophilic(water loving) and one side that is hydrophobic(water fearing) which allows it to bond with and dissolve in both water and oils.

∙ 13y agowell yes and no it may disappear but it is still in the water mixed in leave it in the sunlight and the water will disappear and the powder will reappear

∙ 13y agoNo, as dishwasher soap (liquid) is oily and will not dissolve in water.

∙ 13y agoNo, soap does not dissolve in water

What is the solvent in soap solution?
When soap is added to water, water is the solvent
Equation showing the formation of scum when soaps are dissolved in hard water?
Sodium Stearate + Ca2+ and Mg2+ = Calcium Stearate + Na+ Ions (Soap) (Dissolved in water) (Soluble in water)
What do you mean by the water is hard and water is soft?
Hard water has natural ions dissolved in it. It keeps shampoo for forming suds, it forms soap scum, and it leaves calcium and other deposits in your plumbing. Soft water doesn't have these ions.
When sugar is dissolved in water water is called a?
When sugar is dissolved in water, water is called a SOLVENT
What is pH of softwater?
Generally,soft water contains some dissolved salts which form lather with soap and causes variations in thier pH and it ranges from 6.9-7.2.
What is the soap?
Soapy water is water which has soap dissolved in it.

Equation showing the formation of scum when soaps are dissolved in hard water?
Sodium Stearate + Ca2+ and Mg2+ = Calcium Stearate + Na+ Ions (Soap) (Dissolved in water) (Soluble in water)
Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water?
Soap molecule consist of two parts, one hydrophillic and other one is hydrophobic Hydrophobic part of soap is dissolved with dirt molecule and hydrophillic remains suspended in water. Thus more molecules of soap are attached to dirt having their one end suspended in water to form a micelle. Since ethanol is not as polar as soap micelle will not be formed in other solvents such as ethanol.
Reaction of soap with dissolved calcium chloride?
Calcium chloride is a type of salt. When dissolved and mixed with soap, it will form a white film commonly known as soap scum.
Is soap a base for litmus paper?
Yes, dissolved soap is a basic solution.
If you observe scum around the edge of the sink after using soap what might you infer was dissolved in the tap water?
i think it is called precipitate :)
How do you use the word dissolving in a sentence?
The soap dissolved in the water. you are welcome ;)
How do separate soap from salt?
Soap acts as an emulsifying agent. An emulsifier is capable of dispersing one liquid into another immiscible liquid. Nearly all compounds fall into one of two categories: hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Water and anything that will mix with water are hydrophilic. Oil and anything that will mix with oil are hydrophobic. When water and oil are mixed they separate, which is why hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds just do not mix. When grease or oil is mixed with a soap- water solution, the soap molecules work as a bridge between polar water molecules and non-polar oil molecules. It doesn't separate them -- in fact, it does the opposite. Soap allows water and oil to mix.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how soap works.
