Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water?

∙ 13y ago
Soap molecule consist of two parts, one hydrophillic and other one is hydrophobic Hydrophobic part of soap is dissolved with dirt molecule and hydrophillic remains suspended in water. Thus more molecules of soap are attached to dirt having their one end suspended in water to form a micelle. Since ethanol is not as polar as soap micelle will not be formed in other solvents such as ethanol.

How a micelle allows grease or oil to dissolve in water?
Tom Robinson!
What is the name of the structure formed when a soap coats an oily particle to make it water soluble?
Micelle
How does formation take place?
water condensates and makes clouds in the sky.when their full of water it rains
In the preparation of aspirin water is added to the reaction flask Why?
The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
When lime water is added to gases the liquid turned chalky what is the name of this substance?
the milky substance is due to formation of Calcium carbonate

How does pospholipids behave in water?
Considering that phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules, such as soaps and detergents, form "micelles" (globular aggregates whose hydrocarbon groups are out of contact with water). This molecular arrangements eliminates unfavorable contacts between water and hydrophobic tails (the fatty acids) of the phospholipids and yet permits the solvation of the polar head groups (the phosphate group).Now, we have to consider that micelle formation is a cooperative formation, that is, an assembly of just a few amphiphiles cannot shield its tails form contact with water. Consequently, dilute aqueous solutions of amphiphiles do not form micelles until their concentrations surpasses a certain critical micelle concentration (cmc). According to this, above the cmc, almost all added amphiphiles aggregates to form micelles. The value of the cmc depends on the identity of the amphiphile and the solution conditions, for example, biollogical lipids, most of which have two large hydrophobic tails (the fatty acids), the cmc values are generally < 10-6 M.
What is a bicelle?
A bicelle is a self-assembled aggregate of phospholipid in water, which combines flat bilayer-like and curved micelle-like features.

When do snowstorms take place?
When there is a large concentration of water in cloud formation, when the air temperature is below freezing.
If you place water in a plastic graduated cylinder would it have a meniscus?
Formation of meniscus is a general phenomenon.
What collects on the outside of the beaker if you place a 5 ml water and few ice cubes in the beaker?
when ice cubes place in the beaker, outside of the beaker have a formation of water drops. by. JD
