Sodium hydroxide is employed as the saponification alkali for most cleaning soap now produced. Soap may also also be manufactured with potassium hydroxide (caustic potash) as the alkali. Potassium soaps are extra soluble in water than sodium soaps; in focused form, they are referred to as gentle cleaning soap
The organic compounds in soaps are animal fat.
Most soaps are formed from fatty acids being treated with a strong alkaline. The most common form is sodium stearate, which is a salt, or an ionic compound.
Stearates have a soapy appearance.
Oven cleaner is a type of compound. These types of cleaners often contain a type of soap or salt to help clean the inside of an oven.
There is no proof that a particular kind of soap kills the most germs. According to a Science Daily report (refer to the link, below), washing one's hands using ordinary bar soap and plain water for 10 seconds was more than adequate to kill germs.Foamy soap is in essence the same as liquid soap, lye (NaOH) and fatty acids. The foaminess just increases the available surface area that this compound can interact with other surfaces, like your hand. This increases the efficiency of soap quantity used as well as the efficiency of micelles produced, AKA the amount of grime cleaned up.
Its depends on what type of soap but if you using bath soap then you should do on what bath soap dries out faster but if it's soap you wash your clothes in then you should do it on see what what soap gets out the stain best
If you drop soap on the ground, the soap is dirty AND the floor is clean.
- Liquid soap (a soap prepared with potassium hydroxide) cannot be turned in solid soap. It is prepared especially to be liquid.- Melted soap (prepared with sodium hydroxide) can be solidified after adding a small quantity of sodium chloride and by cooling to room temperature.

Neither. Soap is a solution composed of several different compounds.
Soap is a basic chemical compound.
water --> H2O (compound) soap is not as simple to write out (eg. not like water)
Soap is a mixture and not a compound. It therefore does not have a chemical formula.
Soap is a complex mixture, not a compound.
The reaction to make soap is not ionic, it is a hydrolysis. The soap itself is the salt of a fatty acid, and is therefore ionic in nature at the carboxylate site.
Soil is a mixture Soap is mostly considered to be a compound, most commercial soaps however (like shampoos) are mixtures.
Soap is a compound mixture, an element cannot be broken down into smaller parts. Soap can be broken down into the parts that made it. Elements are pure.
Soap is not a pure compound.
This reaction is not known; soap is not a single compound, but a mixture.
