NO, THERE IS NO SALT IN SOAP!!!

----------------------------------------------------

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is often called Salt or Table Salt.

However, technically it is only one type of salt.

In Chemistry, a salt is any ionically bonded compound.

Lye Soap is a type of soap formed by an ionic bond between Sodium (Na+) and the conjugate base of a fatty acid (ROO-)

ROO-Na+

And thus, Lye Soap IS A SALT.

Salts will dissociate into their ionic constituents in water. Soap is not required for that step.

What are the chemical properties of Soap?

Soap is typically made of a combination of fatty acids and alkali salts. It is amphiphilic, meaning it has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. This allows soap to effectively remove dirt and oils from surfaces by emulsifying them in water.

What acid is soap?

Soap is typically made by mixing fats or oils with a strong alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide (lye). The chemical reaction between the fats/oils and the alkali results in the formation of soap, which is generally a mixture of fatty acid salts.


Metal ions in water can react with soap to form what?

Metal ions in water can react with soap to form insoluble salts, known as soap scum. This can lead to reduced soap efficacy and result in soap scum buildup on surfaces.
