What is the chemical formula for Calcium Stearate?

Calcium stearate is carboxylate of calcium that is found in some lubricants and surfactants. It is a white waxy powder. It is produced by heating stearic acid, a fatty acid, and calcium oxide. It is also formed when sodium stearate is added to hard water (as scum). Sodium stearate + CaSO4 -----> C36H70CaO4 + Na2SO4 OR Sodium stearate + Ca(HCO3)2-------------> C36H70CaO4 + NaHCO3 Anyway, just wanted to refresh your memory a little bit... The formula is, as mentioned earlier : C36H70CaO4 Oh, and sodium stearate's just a fancy word for soap...


What is the detergent soap bar formula?

Sodium Stearate , or Sodium Palmate. The formulas are Sodium stearate CH3(CH2)16COO^-Na^+ Sodium, palmate CH3(CH2)13COO^-Na^+ Soaps that lather (dissolve) in salt water have the sodium ion replace by a potassium ion (K^+). This is because of the common ion effect of sodium in sodium stereate and sadium in sodium chloride of salt water.


What is the difference between soap and shower gel?

Soap is primarily sodium stearate. It leaves a film when it combines with hard water to form calcium stearate (soap scum). Body wash is a detergent that does not form soap scum. It, like Zest bath bars has no sodium stearate. The difference between the Zest and most body washes is the fragrance in the recipe and that you are paying for a whole lot of water and a fancy bottle.
