Traditional soap making involves the hydrolysis of various natural fats, which are usually the triglyceride esters of straight chain organic monoacids, with a strong aqueous base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide to produce the alkali metal salt of the alkali metal atom used, this salt being the effective soap, and glycerin by-product. The natural fats are usually not pure compounds, but a typical example is (C15H31COO)3CH2CHCH2 + 3 KOH (aq) = 3 K(C15H31COO)3 (aq) + CH2OHCHOHCH2OH.
This process is called saponification: fat + sodium hydroxide -> Sodium salts of fatty acid (Soap) + glycerol
the chemical equation is water + soap=[whatever you get for the expierement.

well sodium something
2 H2O2 + 2 O2
e = mc2
Soap scum is a substance, not a change; but the formation of scum is a chemical process.
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
4Na+2O2=2Na2O
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --> H2O (l)
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
Soap scum is a substance, not a change; but the formation of scum is a chemical process.
Soap is a mixture and not a compound. It therefore does not have a chemical formula.
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
The formation of a precipitate is a chemical change.
This is not for sodium myristate but the website is useful. http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/554soap.html
The chemical formula for Carbon monoxide is CO and the equation that would result in its formation would be 2C + O2 = 2CO.
No, the formation of soap scum is not a chemical change. Soap scum appears as the result of a physical change. Some of the soap and whatever has become incorporated into the soap and water dry. After the water is gone, the things left are from the soap and whatever mixed with the soap when it was "working" at cleaning.
A chemical formula is just one molecule. For example, the chemical formula for water is H2O. The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3 A chemical equation contains reactants and products, which are molecules or groups of molecules. For example, what is the chemical equation for the formation of water. 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
4Na+2O2=2Na2O
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the atoms of the reactants break, and new bonds are formed during the formation of the products.
2H2,g + O2,g --> H2Ol
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --> H2O (l)
