What is the type of reaction of soap and water removing oil or fat from object?
Manro
the rule of thumb for liquids is that liquids with polar molecules (water, vinegar) will mix with each other, and liquids with non-polar molecules (oil, grease, ) will mix with each other but they will not mix with each other.
soap is made up of long chain molecules which are polar at one end and non-polar at the other, so they bridge the gap and bond up with a water molecule at one end and an oil molecule at the other allowing the oil molecules to be washed away with the water.
