Soap, the metallic salt of a fatty acid, is a molecule that attaches to water at one end and lipids (fats and oils) at the other, thus solving the old problem of how to wash off oil since oil and water don't mix. The drawback is that the part that likes the oil also likes calcium, so if you have "hard" water (lots of dissolved minerals) you will wind up with a substance know as "soap scum." Detergents are a group of chemicals which imitate the water-oil aspect of soap, but don't care for calcium, so they don't build up scum. Their drawbacks are that they can be more expensive, harsher and can have unforeseen effects on the environment due to all the additional stuff manufacturers add to them. Clothing detergent, for example, often has ultraviolet dyes so the cleaned clothes will reflect more light and thus appear brighter.

How does high altitude effect the freeze point of water?

Is a bottle a good model of the natural greenhouse effect in the atmosphere?
Yes, cause there are different types of plants that have to have different tempuatures, climates, and stuff like that. And also there are different ways to take care of your plant, like if a plant is from Arizona, you don't give it cold and snow and tons of water, or like a plant from Wisconsin, you don't give it tons of sun and no water. That's my answer.
Can you make different types of clouds in a cloud jar?
Yes, you can create various types of clouds in a cloud jar by following different methods. For example, you can make cumulus clouds by heating water in the jar and adding ice cubes on top to create condensation; or stratus clouds by gently shaking the jar after adding warm water to simulate a layer of stable air. Experimenting with temperature, pressure, and motion can help create different cloud types in a cloud jar.
Is icy water both pure and contains different types of atoms?
All water contains two different types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen, twice as much hydrogen as oxygen. If its pure water that's all there is in it. The purity of the water has nothing whatsoever to do with its temperature: pure water can be boiling hot, and icy water can be filled with impurities.
Which water requires the greatest amount of salt to float an egg?
