The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is laureate, a 12 carbon chain. After Saponification there is a relatively high ratio of glycerin to oil and the fatty acid salts are more soluble than would be with longer chain fats. Beef fat which is also used to make soap is primarily stearic acid (18 carbons). Melting points are 44 vs 69 C.
What else can I help you with?
Is soap soluble in oil?
No, soap is not soluble in oil. Soap is hydrophilic, meaning it is soluble in water, but not in oils or other nonpolar substances.
What is the butter on popcorn made of?
I believe it is a palm oil derived from coconuts and flavored.
What are Peg 60 Almond Glycerides are derived from?
it is water-soluble almond oil so it's derived from almonds
What solvents the soap will be soluble in?
Soap is typically soluble in water, as it is used to create soap solutions. Soap can also generally dissolve in other polar solvents such as ethanol or glycerol, but not well in non-polar solvents such as oil or petrol.
Why is the soap derived from coconut oil is so soluble?
The primary fatty acid of coconut oil is laureate, a 12 carbon chain.

Do soap and oil interact?
Yes, soap and oil interact through a process called emulsification. Soap molecules have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing them to surround and trap oils and grease, making them soluble in water and easier to wash away.
Is iodine soluble in oil?
No, iodine is not soluble in oil. Iodine is a water-soluble compound and will not mix with nonpolar substances like oil.
What acid is found in soap?
It is a fatty acid, usually derived from vegetable oil or animal oil (milk).
Why is oil soluble in soap and water mixtures?
It's really not. A mixture of oil, soap and water is an emulsion wherein oil droplets are surrounded by soap, thus encapsulating their non-polar surface with polar elements that float, near neutral buoyancy, in (polar) water. Allowed to sit undisturbed, the mixture will eventually separate --- something that doesn't happen with solutions.
Is calcium carbonate soluble in oil?
Yes, it is easily soluble in oil.
How is coconut oil produced?
coconuts and milk. i think.
Is Calcium Chloride soluble in oil?
Calcium chloride is not soluble in oil. It is a water-soluble compound that dissolves readily in water but does not mix with oil.
