What else can I help you with?
Who can use potassium?
Everyone can use it really because it is in soap, fertilizers, glass and a few other things we use a lot.
Balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol?
A balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol is (C18H29O2)3-C3H5O3 + 3KOH -> 3C18H29O2K + HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. The acyl portions are all derived from linolenic acid and use potassium hydroxide as the base.
What is a common use for potassium carbonate?
Potassium carbonate has been used for soap, glass, and china production. In the laboratory, it may be used as a mild drying agent where other drying agents such as calcium chloride may be incompatible. However, it is not suitable for acidic compounds.
Is soap solid?
Soap is partially comprised of fatty acids; long molecules derived from plant or animal fat. The liquid soaps use shorter, fats, which tend to be more liquid than solid (compare olive oil, for example, to palm oil). The above does not answer the question... The answer is that soft soaps tend to dissolve more readily into water, due to the ions of the soap being able to stabilise and disperse into the water. Hard soaps tends to have ions that make dissolution into water difficult. In other terms, soft soap dissolves easily, where as hard soaps do not. To add to this - soaps made with KOH (caustic potash) give more soluble soap molecules than those made of NaOH. Therefore KOH soaps are soft and are used for liquid soap production and NaOH soaps are hard.
Can humans use copper sulphate for infection?
No, at one point it was used as an emetic, but it was later discovered that copper sulphate is quite toxic to humans.
What lye between caustic soda and caustic potash is good for making bath soap?
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is typically used to make solid bar soaps, while caustic potash, also known as potassium hydroxide, is used to make liquid soap. To make bath soap, it's usually recommended to use caustic soda for solid soap bars due to its properties for creating a firm soap.
What metal would you use to make iron sulphate?
Iron is needed to produce iron sulphate.
Who can use potassium?
Everyone can use it really because it is in soap, fertilizers, glass and a few other things we use a lot.
Do you need soap to take a bath while you have chickenpox?
No, use potassium permanganate, and consult with a doctor.
Can sodium chloride be used to make soap instead of lye?
No, sodium chloride (table salt) cannot be used to make soap instead of lye. Lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) is the essential ingredient needed to saponify fats and oils to make soap. Sodium chloride does not have the same chemical properties to facilitate the soap-making process.
What did Indians use to make soap and shampoo?
no Indian's did not make soap or shampoo. They did not have the things or materials to make these products.
What are the correct ratios for producing a solution of 36 potassium K if the source is potassium sulphate?
2:1 since potassium sulfate has the formula of K2SO4. There are 2 K+ for each SO4^2-. If you want 36 "parts" of K, then you would use 18 parts of K2SO4.
What type of soap you can use when you have exzema?
Bar soap is the best for that, not smelly soap because that will make it worse.
What is the effect of potassium bisulphite as food preservative under various conditions?
Postassium bisulphate - KHSO4 - can be used as an food preservative to protect the food from micro-organisms.
If you use potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide what salt would you make?
If you use potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide, you would make potassium salts instead of sodium salts. For example, if you reacted potassium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid, you would produce potassium chloride.
What are three things that potassium is used for?
There are many reasons one might use Potassium Hydroxide. This chemical may help identify mushrooms, be used in soap making, as well as to unclog a drain.
How do you prepare soap at home?
In the most general terms, soap is made by treating a fat or oil with an alkali, generally sodium or potassium hydroxide. You can use just about any fat or oil (lard works fine, as does olive oil, corn oil, safflower oil...) to make soap. For more details, including recipes, try the related link below.
