Alkali react with greases and oils forming water soluble soaps.
Fatty acid salts act as soap to remove grease because of their nonpolar tail and their polar head. This structure allows otherwise insoluble particles in water to become soluble and then washed away.
Pretty much any lipid. Oil, butter, grease, etc...
difference between benzyne and petroleum benzine
soluble
all lipids are insoluble in polar solvents (Water) by the way . WATER not wather :D ' but lipids are soluble in non_polar solvents such as benzine and Carbon tetrachloride

Pepsi has a chemical called benzine in it. Benzine is a corrosive
Oil+oil refinery=Benzine
A benzine is a flammable petroleum distillate used as a solvent or fuel.
Craig Benzine goes by Wheezy Waiter.
The sodium hydroxide turns the grease into soap, which is soluble in water (the grease isn't). When water is flushed down the drain, the soap gets taken with it, and removes the grease causing the blockage.
Bases can react with greases; soaps are formed, soluble in hot water.
The fluids used to dry-clean clothing remove grease when water cannot because it chemically bonds thus making it invisible to other materials
The prize of benzine in the Netherlands at the moment (july 2008) is around € 1,60 (euro's).
