detergents have a hydrocarbon chain like C12H25 which is nonpolar, and an ionic group like sulfate. What happens here is that your hydrocarbon end is attracted by dirt, oil and greasy stuff, and that ionic end is attracted by the water.

SOOO... your result is that an orientation of molecules uhhh

at the interface between dirt and water where the dirt particles get suspended as a colloid, so then they easily get washed away.

Now that being said if you add detergent or salt to water is the same as adding a solute to a solution which lowers the vapor pressur of a liquid. SOOO... a higher temp is needed to increase the vapor pressur of the solution to get it to the gas phase.

So here the soap is the emulsifyer and the negative ions are oriented between oil and water and the positive ions move independently through the water. Becuz they do this temporary dipoles called London forces are produced between the positive part of the ions and the negative part of the hydrogen bond, on the oxygen.

Heat makes the ions move around more causing more collisions, and adding more salt, increases the ration rising the chances of collision. Rate of reation is all about the collision rate.

I think this is the answer you were looking for.

Since salt is soluble in water, it will dissolve until the water is saturated.

Simple, the salt stops the bondings by simply getting in the way.
