Hydrochloric Acid plus Sodium Hydroxide plus soap. What happens?
A water solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) and soap.
Describe how soap is manufactured using the sodium hydroxide produced in this process include a reaction equation?
how the soap is manufactured?
Is soap an acid or base?
I am not sure but I believe soaps are acids, because liquid soap is an acid.ANS2:Soap is a salt formed from the reaction of sodium hydroxide with steric (octadecanoic) acid, a component of fat. Being the salt of a weak acid, it will function as a pH buffer. To answer your question, it is neither an acid or a base.
What acid is in soap?
Soap can said to be a sodium salt of long chain fatty acid. Fatty acid is a stearic acid. So stearic acid is present in soap.
Why is it difficult to use soap in an acid solution?
Soap is a salt of carboxylic acid (fatty acid) in acidic medium soap forms the corresponding fatty acid which is almost insoluble in water so soap does not work properly.

Why is soap a compound?
The reaction to make soap is not ionic, it is a hydrolysis. The soap itself is the salt of a fatty acid, and is therefore ionic in nature at the carboxylate site.
WHY DOES A TURMERIC STAIN ON A WHITE SHIRT TURN RED WHEN WASHED WITH SOAP?
It is because turmeric contains an acid (tartaric acid), while the soap contains a base (sodium hydroxide). When an acid reacts with a base, neutralization reaction takes place and the stain becomes neutral.
What are the chemical names of acids which you use in your daily life?

Balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol?
A balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol is (C18H29O2)3-C3H5O3 + 3KOH -> 3C18H29O2K + HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. The acyl portions are all derived from linolenic acid and use potassium hydroxide as the base.
Is a soap a acid?
soap the salt of a fatty acid and so it is almost an acid, but it is an alkaline
What is produced when hydrochloric acid reacts with aluminum?
Aluminum and Hydrochloric acid react violently. For instance if you have ever seen a Drain-o bomb using a plastic bottle, the combination of the 20% HCl concentration and the aluminum foil creates heat and boil releasing steam, bottle becomes unable to contain it and explodes, releasing the steam rapidly. Answer course correction: Drano is composed of Sodium Hydroxide, sodium nitrate and aluminum. The above observations are true but it's an NaOH/Al reaction giving the heat and gas. The 'grease cutting" is a result of the hot hydroxide saponifying the fats (turning them to soap) which are then soluble in water. (6NaOH + 2Al --> 3H2 + 2Na3AlO3) The reaction of Aluminum and HCl: 2Al + 6HCl --> 2AlCl3 + 3H2 All in al it looks the same (fizzes)and gets hot.

Is soap an acid or a base?
Soap is a base (Bestansw3rs) I am not sure but i think liquid soap is a acid..... (200174975) actually, any cleaners and products that contain soap is a base.
