Why do you say that soup gets wasted if hard water is used for cleansing purpose?

Hard water contains the salts of calcium and magnesium, which neutralize the soap. So that more or less amount of soap is precipitated before you get the effect of soap on the water. Only after you have wasted the certain amount of soap, you get the foam in the water. The ability of soap to clean the clothes comes only after foam formation.


Why hard water consumes a lot of soap?

The calcium (as calcium carbonate) in hard water replaces the sodium on the fatty acids of the soap causing them to precipitate as a sticky scum. This deposits soap scum on the things being washed and causes the formation of "bathtub ring" on bathtubs, sinks, etc.


What does soap do to the polarity of a water molecule?

the soap contains amphipathic molecules which can interact with hydrophobic as well as hydrophillic solvents. the hydrophilic end will interact with the water molecules whereas hydrophobic ends will concentrate at a very small portion and as a result a micell formation takes place.


What problems that can occur when washing when the soap is added to hard water?

The soap may not work as efficiently as it works in soft water since scum formation may take place.
