Yes an acid
It is a acid base.
A bar of soap is typically basic rather than acidic. Soaps are commonly made by a chemical reaction between a fatty acid and a base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction produces a salt, which is the basis for the cleaning properties of soap.
No, not all soaps are alkaline in nature. Soaps are the salts of fatty acids and can be either alkaline or neutral depending on the type of fatty acid used in their production. Traditional soaps made from fats with high alkaline content are alkaline, while syndet bars (synthetic detergents) are neutral or slightly acidic.
Acid. Its more corrosive. Base is in our soaps etc.
Washing detergent is nearly always alkaline or antacid. There are some special purpose soaps - called soapless soaps, that are mildly acidic, but they are for special purposes and not usually encountered. On the other hand, detergents with ammonia in them are strongly alkaline.
All soaps are basic (when talking pH scale).
Lauric acid is put in soaps
It is a acid base.
Soap is a base. Many bases have the same slippery properties that soap does.

Yes because of the shape it is

I am not sure but I believe soaps are acids, because liquid soap is an acid.ANS2:Soap is a salt formed from the reaction of sodium hydroxide with steric (octadecanoic) acid, a component of fat. Being the salt of a weak acid, it will function as a pH buffer. To answer your question, it is neither an acid or a base.
