How is soapstone formed?

Answer 1

Laundry detergent suds are bubbles that form around dirt and grease to remove them from whatever is being washed. If you use soap and water the grease sticks too the water and makes it easy to slide off

Answer 2

Ordinary soap is made by adding lye to fat and heating it.

Many so called soaps are actually detergents not soaps. They are made in a chemical plant from petroleum.

Answer 3

soaps r sodium salts of higher fatty acids..

a soap molecule consists of a head part na da tail part...

the head part is oil soluble while the tail part is water soluble...

wen in water the soap molecule dissociates into its head nd tail part...

the oil soluble tail part sticks to the dirt molecules while the water soluble tail part washes it away wen the cloth is rinsed...

Answer 4

In the cold soapmaking process, some heat is usually required; the temperature is usually raised to a point sufficient to ensure complete melting of the fat being used. The batch may also be kept warm for some time after mixing to ensure the alkali (hydroxide) is completely used up. This soap is safe to use after about 12-48 hours, but is not at its peak quality for use for several weeks.

Cold-process soapmaking requires exact measurements of lye and fat amounts and computing their ratio, using saponification charts to ensure the finished product does not contain any excess hydroxide or too much free unreacted fat. Saponification charts should also be used in hot processes, but are not necessary for the "fully boiled hot-process" soaping.

Answer 5

Soapstone is created by the earth changing the composition of igneous rocks. These changes require pressure that is moderate and a temperature that is low.

Answer 6

soap is produce by animal fat and vegetable oil together withconcentration potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide solution.

Answer 7

a strong base is heated with a kind of animal fat to form soap.
