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.
What else can I help you with?
Soap scum physical or chemical change?
A chemical change. Soap scum is usually found in 'hard' water areas, where there is a lot of calcium cations (Ca^(2+)). On dissolution of soap in water , the oily anion of soap combines with calcium cation , to form calcium sterate (The Scum).
What is a balanced chemical equation for the formation of rubidium hydroxide from rubidium oxide?
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of rubidium hydroxide from rubidium oxide is: 2 Rb2O + 2 H2O → 4 RbOH
How do you write the chemical equation of sodium hydrogen sulfite?
The chemical formula (not equation) of sodium hydrogen sulfite is NaHSO3.
Is soap acid?
Soap is typically basic, not acidic. It is made through a chemical reaction between a fat and a strong base, such as lye. This reaction results in the formation of soap molecules, which tend to be more alkaline.
Which equation correctly balances the chemical equation O Fe Fe2O3?
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of Fe2O3 from Fe and O is: 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
Soap scum physical or chemical change?

What is the chemical equation for soap with NaCl?
The chemical equation for soap formation in the presence of NaCl involves the saponification reaction of a fat or oil (triglyceride) with a strong base (such as sodium hydroxide - NaOH) to form soap (a fatty acid salt) and glycerol. The equation can be generalized as: Fat + NaOH → Soap + Glycerol. The presence of NaCl (sodium chloride) does not typically participate in the reaction but may affect the process by influencing the solubility and separation of the soap product.
Soap formula equation?
The general formula for soap is: Fatty acid (from oils or fats) + alkali (such as lye) -> soap + glycerin. This is known as the saponification reaction. The specific chemical equation will depend on the type of fatty acid and alkali used in the soap-making process.
What is a balanced chemical equation for the formation of rubidium hydroxide from rubidium oxide?
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of rubidium hydroxide from rubidium oxide is: 2 Rb2O + 2 H2O → 4 RbOH
How do you write the chemical equation of sodium hydrogen sulfite?
The chemical formula (not equation) of sodium hydrogen sulfite is NaHSO3.
Is soap scum of a chemical change?
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.
What is carbon monoxides chemical equation?
The chemical formula for Carbon monoxide is CO and the equation that would result in its formation would be 2C + O2 = 2CO.
What is the equation for the formation of benzoquinone?
The formation of benzoquinone involves the oxidation of hydroquinone. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: C6H6O2 (hydroquinone) + O2 → C6H4O2 (benzoquinone) + H2O.
Is soap acid?
Soap is typically basic, not acidic. It is made through a chemical reaction between a fat and a strong base, such as lye. This reaction results in the formation of soap molecules, which tend to be more alkaline.
If tap water and soap form an insoluble deposit is this a physical or chemical change?
The formation of an insoluble deposit when tap water and soap are mixed is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the molecules of the soap and tap water are simply rearranging themselves to form the deposit, without any new substances being formed.
Which equation correctly balances the chemical equation O Fe Fe2O3?
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of Fe2O3 from Fe and O is: 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
What is the chemical equation of strontium oxalate mono hydrate?
The chemical formula of strontium oxalate monohydrate is SrC2O4·H2O. The chemical equation for its formation involves the reaction of strontium nitrate with oxalic acid in the presence of water.
