Does the hard water have a greater emulsifying power than soap or deterget yes or no?

The question should be (I guess)..."Which would have a greater emulsifying power in 'hard' water, soaps or detergents?". The answer to that question is certainly the detergent. (Further, fyi, shampoos are great emulsifiers in hard water compared with the two.)
*Please see molecular structures of soaps and detergents to understand how and why detergents emulsify more than soaps.

What are the purposes of emulsifying agents in emulsion?
To allow suspended solids to remain in suspension. Emulsion paint for example contains fine particles of pigment in suspension in water. The emulsifying agent prevents the pigments settling to the bottom.
What is cetomacrogol cream bp?
It is an emulsifying agent allowing lipids and water based fluids to be mixed together into (pharmaceutical) preparations
How does soap work with water to remove oily dirt?
Soap contains particles that have a polar end and a non-polar end. These particles are able to attach to oil particles and to water particles, enabling the oil to dissociate in the water and disperse. In this way, soap acts as an emulsifying agent.
Which Has An Greater Specific Heat Water or Copper?
Water has.
Is hard water or soft water a greater solvent?
Soft water is better solvent
In the presence of an emulsifying agent a mixture of oil and water becomes a?
This mixture is an emulsion.

Which emulsifying agent should you use to make it a clear micro emulsion of essential oils in water?
Sodium Choleate- it is a bile salt that serves as an emulsifying agent; which aids in the suspension of triglycerides in water. I'm not going to lie, I do not know how or why, but I just did it in my chemistry class last week.
A lens of glass is immersed in water. What will happen to its power?
The power of a lens depends on the differences in the refractive indices of the environment and the lens material. A glass lens immersed in water will loose power (a positive lens will focus at a greater distance). (This is for normal glass with refractive index greater than water - there could be glasses with refractive index less than water in which case the lens would gain power)

What does emulsifier do to your body?
An emulsifying agent is a substance that helps an emulsion become more stable. An emulsion is usually a mixture of two products such as oil and water that do not mix together or that are also referred to as immiscible. By adding an emulsifying agent to the mixture, they cause the oil to be broken down into smaller pieces that can then be dispersed throughout then water. This is then what becomes known as an emulsion.
Why is water emulsifying with oil in your rover 416?
if you have have water mixing with the oil then your cylinder head gasket might need replaced if it is not overheating just give a good run, when the oil heats the water will evaperate
Which is greater water or fire in dragonica?
Water is greater.
Why are cells allowed to swim into and out of the loop's water film rather than scraping the agar surface of growth and then emulsifying cells on the slide?
The ability of cells being allowed to swim into and out of the loop's water film rather than scraping the agar surface of growth and then emulsifying cells on the slide is due to its morphology. The path chosen is due to the cell's make up.
What state produces the most hydroelectric power?
When the water is falling from height. The more the falling speed, the greater the energy.
What mixture is lotion?
A lotion is usually an emulsion - similar to, for example, mayonnaise. An emulsion is made of two liquids that won't normally mix (such as oil and water) and a third chemical is added that enables the other two to join together. This makes a creamy mixture. This third chemical is called an emulsifying agent.In the case of a lotion, the oil is often palm oil and the second is usually just water. Any of a number of different emulsifying agents (such as emulsifying wax for example) are added to join the oil and water. Scents and perhaps also medicines are then added, as needed, to make whatever particular lotion is required.
