Why do we use powdered soap in washing machines and not bar soap?

We use powdered soap in washing machines because it dissolves more easily in water compared to bar soap. Powdered soap also helps to prevent soap scum buildup and residue in the machine, leading to cleaner and more efficient washing. Additionally, powdered soap is designed to work effectively in high-efficiency and front-loading washing machines.


Does the powdered soap dissolve in kerosene?

Powdered soap does not dissolve in kerosene as kerosene is a non-polar solvent, while soap is made of polar molecules. This difference in polarity prevents the soap from dissolving in kerosene.


Does powdered soap dissolve faster than a bar soap?

Yes. The much greater surface area of powdered soap will allow more water molecules to come into contact with the soap particles, dissolving it faster.


Why does a powdered soap dissolve faster than a bar soap?

Powdered soap has a larger surface area exposed to water, allowing for quicker dissolution than a bar soap that has a smaller surface area. Additionally, the powdered form is pre-dissolved and easier for water molecules to surround and break down compared to the solid structure of a bar soap.


What are examples of powder soap?

Laundry Soap and Dishwasher soap are often distributed in powders. For example, Tide Laundry Soap. The two aren't interchangeable though. Dishwasher soap has to be low-sudsing. There are also powdered hand cleaners, and powdered kitchen scrubbing soaps like Zud powder or Comet Powder
