What else can I help you with?
In which reaction is soap a product?
Soap is produced in the saponification reaction, where fats or oils react with a strong base, typically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, to form soap and glycerol.
Does bile contain enzymes that emulsify fats?
Yes! Bile salts are produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and secreted in the small intestine's duodenum. Because they emulsify fats, they are often thought of as digestion's detergent.
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
Conclusion of soap preparation?
In conclusion, soap preparation involves mixing fats or oils with a caustic substance, such as lye, to undergo a chemical reaction called saponification. This process converts the fats into soap and glycerin. The soap mixture is then allowed to cure and harden before it is ready for use.
What chemicals in soap could cause an allergic reaction?
All of them. Soap is made with fats and oils, lye and a variety of ingredients for fragrance, color, texture. If the soap you are using is causing a reaction, look for a soap that is labeled hypoallergenic. That is a starting point.
Does an acid or a base emulsify fats and oils?
Bases dissolves fats and oils by reacting with them to form soap. :) I'm not sure if dissolves is like the same thing as emulsify.... sorry.... Hope I helped! :)
Which part of a soap is responsible for its ability to dissolve fats and oily dirt?
The hydrophobic tail of a soap molecule is responsible for dissolving fats and oily dirt. This tail is attracted to the fats and oils, while the hydrophilic head of the soap molecule is attracted to water, allowing the soap to emulsify the dirt and oils in water and wash them away.
What is inside soap?
SOAP
Why is it necessary to wear goggles and gloves while making soap?
Soap is made of alkalies. Alkalies emulsify or dissolve the natural oils and fats in the epidermis (skin). The skin becomes extremely dry and flaky and usually painful without its natural oils. It also loses its elasticity.
What acid is found in soap?
It is a fatty acid, usually derived from vegetable oil or animal oil (milk).
What substance is made when alkalis react with oils and fats?
Soap
What is made by reacting fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide?
Soap is made by reacting fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in a process called saponification.
Bile is said to emulsify fats. what is to emulsify?
To break the large fat down into smaller fats pieces.
What are two compounds of soap?
Oils and fats for soap are compounds of glycerin and a fatty acid. When oils are mixed with an alkali, they form glycerin and the sodium salt of the fatty acid. The fatty acids required for soap making are supplied by tallow, grease, fish oils, and vegetable oils. The hardness, lathering qualities, and transparency of soap vary according to the combinations of fats and alkalis used as ingredients. An experienced soap crafter uses many combinations of oils.

Organic salt made by reacting fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide?
Soap is an organic salt made by reacting fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide through a process called saponification.
What resources go into soap?
animal oils and fats with a strongly alkaline solution, often Lye
What does the s stand for in soap?
The "s" in soap stands for "saponification," which is the chemical reaction that occurs when oils or fats are mixed with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide to create soap.
