Do acids give soaps their useful properties?
No, acids do not give soaps their useful properties. Soaps are typically made from the reaction of fats/oils with a strong base (such as sodium hydroxide) in a process called saponification. This reaction produces soap molecules, which have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, allowing them to effectively clean by attracting both water and oil-based dirt.
