Cleansing action of soap |
|
Answer» Answer: The cleansing action of both soaps and detergents results from their ability to lower the surface tension of water, to EMULSIFY oil or grease and to hold them in a suspension in water. This ability is DUE to the structure of soaps and detergents. In water, a SODIUM soap dissolves to form soap anions and sodium CATIONS. |
