Will salt run away from soap in the milk?

In a mixture of milk and soap, salt does not physically "run away" from soap, but it can affect the properties of the solution. When salt is added to the soap and milk mixture, it can disrupt the structure of micelles formed by the soap, potentially reducing its effectiveness. Additionally, the salt can influence the solubility of the soap and may lead to precipitation. Therefore, the interaction between salt, soap, and milk is complex and depends on their concentrations and the specific properties of each component.


Why was the hydrolysed fat mixture poured into a concentrated salt solution to precipitate soap?

The salt reacts with the water that would go toward acting as a solvent for the organic molecule. The inorganic salt is more "thirsty" than the organic molecule and deprives the soap of sufficient water to keep it soluble. This causes the soap to precipitate.


What dissolves soap but not salt?

Alcohol can dissolve soap but not salt. When alcohol is applied to soap, it can break down the soap molecules and cause it to dissolve. Salt, on the other hand, does not dissolve in alcohol due to differences in their chemical structures.

How are phospholipids and soap molecules similar in structure?

Phospholipids and soap molecules both have hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts. A phospholipid has a polar head group and two nonpolar fatty acid tails, while soap molecules have a similar structure with a polar head attached to a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Both molecules can interact with water and oil due to their amphipathic nature.

How does saponification relate to organic chemistry?

The preparation of soap is called as saponification. When an ester reacts with a sodium salt of a carboxylic acid in the presence of a lye, it forms soap. All the reactants and products are organic.
