Can you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water?

Yes, you can use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water. Hard water forms insoluble scum when mixed with soap, while soft water produces lather easily. If soap forms scum rather than lather, the water is likely hard.


What are the advantages of synthetic detergents over soap?

The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so. Unlike soaps, detergents do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. They give lather in hard water also.Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.
