Salt is added to soap solution to help precipitation and separation of salt.
Metal ions in water can react with soap to form insoluble salts, known as soap scum. This can lead to reduced soap efficacy and result in soap scum buildup on surfaces.
Scum - calcium and other metal salts of fatty acids
Dibasic salts are salts that contain two replaceable hydrogen ions per molecule. These salts are capable of forming two types of ions when dissolved in water, with two acidic protons that can be neutralized by a base. Examples of dibasic salts include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4).
The negative and positive charges are neutralized each other.
The opossite charges are reciprocally neutralized.
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
Metal salts that contain no carbon except as carbonate/bicarbonate.
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
beacuse it contain dissolve salts of calcium and magnesium salts and other heavy metals and it does not form lather with soap readily..

Metal Salts + water
Practically all salts contain a metal; exceptions, for example, are ammonium salts.
