Soap is a base
(Bestansw3rs) I am not sure but i think liquid soap is a acid.....
(200174975) actually, any cleaners and products that contain soap is a base.
A soap is a salt made from the reaction of a fatty acid with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. It does not contain acid or base as the reaction between the fatty acid and alkali neutralizes these components to form the soap molecule.
Yes, soap has the ability to neutralize acids because it is a base. When soap comes into contact with an acid, it can react with the acid to form a neutral substance, thereby neutralizing the acid.
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.
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.
Base
its is a base
Oviously a base...
It's a base.
A soap is a base and not an acid, so it does not have any acids in it.
Neither - soap is a base, with a basic - not acidic - pH level.

Water, Salt, Heat Acid-base neutralizations are exothermic. acid-lemon, vinegar base-soap slippery stuff neutral-water
