Advantage of soaps over synthetic detergents?
Soaps and detergents act differently in hard water and soft water respectively..over use of detergents causes water pollution wich can be avoided by using soaps...........wich causes much less pollution.
What soap has the least soap scum?
Liquid soaps and foaming soaps tend to leave less soap scum compared to bar soaps because they contain fewer fats and oils. Look for soaps that are specifically labeled as "residue-free" or "non-soap scum forming" for best results. Regular cleaning of surfaces with a mild detergent can also help reduce soap scum buildup.
What is foaming capacities of soap?
The foaming capacity of soap is determined by how much detergent is in it. Less detergent means little foaming while more detergent will have more foam.
Can you get oil and water to mix?
You can do this by stirring or agitating the oil and water together with soap or detergent. Different oils, soaps and detergents will work more or less efficiently.
Why are vegetables soaps good for the environment?
Soaps made from vegetables are readily biodegradable and tend to have less phosphorous and nitrogen than cmmercially sourced soaps.
Why are soaps less effective in hard water?
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions. When soaps are dissolved in hard water, these ions displace sodium or potassium from their salts and form insoluble calcium or magnesium salts of fatty acids. These insoluble salts separate as scum. This is the reason why soaps do not work in hard water.
What makes ivory soap have less density than other soaps?
The reason Ivory soap is less dense than other soaps is that it is whipped while being made, so that it is full of air bubbles. The air makes the soap less dense so it floats on water. Please see the related link below.

What is nonionic soap?

It is milder and less likely to cause skin irritation compared to other types of soaps. Nonionic soaps are often used in cosmetic products and personal care items.
Why is my toothpaste not foaming when I brush my teeth?
There are several possible reasons why your toothpaste may not be foaming when you brush your teeth. One common reason is that the toothpaste may be expired or old, which can affect its foaming ability. Additionally, using too little toothpaste or not brushing for a long enough time can also result in less foam. Another factor could be the type of toothpaste you are using, as some formulas may not produce as much foam as others. Lastly, if you have hard water in your area, it can interfere with the foaming action of the toothpaste.
What are the advantages of synthetic detergents over soap?
The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so. Unlike soaps, detergents do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. They give lather in hard water also.Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of soaps and detergents?
Soaps are natural products made from fats and oils, which makes them biodegradable and environmentally friendly. They are effective at removing dirt and oils from surfaces. However, they can react with hard water to form scum, reducing their cleaning effectiveness. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic compounds that are more effective in hard water and are less likely to leave residue. However, they are not as environmentally friendly as soaps and may contain harmful chemicals.
