2020年7月16日 · The type of fatty acid and length of the carbon chain determines the unique properties of various soaps. Tallow or animal fats give primarily sodium stearate (18 carbons) …

For making soap, all different types of fats and oils can be used – anything from lard to exotic tropical plant oils. Carboxylic acids and salts having alkyl chains longer than eight carbons …

2023年1月23日 · Soap is manufactured by the base-catalyzed hydrolysis (saponification) of animal fat. Before sodium hydroxide was commercially available, a boiling solution of …

2024年9月5日 · Discover the fascinating chemistry behind your soap with our in-depth guide. Explore the essential role of sodium hydroxide in soap-making, including its impact on soap …

2016年1月1日 · Soaps are the salts of (mainly) saturated and unsaturated fatty acids having carbon number C10 to C18. The source of the fatty acids is always a blend of natural …

Palmitic and Stearic carbon chain (C16 - C18) produces soap with very good detergent property but also too hard. Oleic carbon chain (C18.1) produce a soap with good foam, solubility and …

2023年2月14日 · When the hydrocarbon chain in a fatty acid has at least one double bond, the fatty acid is no longer saturated because it contains less hydrogen atoms. Fats containing a …

Fatty acids are organic acids with a carboxylic acid functional group and a with long hydrocarbon chain. Hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids can either be saturated or unsaturated. Unsaturated …

Chemically, soap is a mixture of the sodium or potassium salts of the long-chain fatty acids produced by hydrolysis (saponification) of animal fat with alkali. Wood ash was used as a …

Soaps are molecules in which the two ends have differing properties; one is hydrophilic, that is, it dissolves in water, while the other is hydrophobic, that is, it dissolves in hydrocarbons. The …
