Explain cleaning action of soaps and detergents . |
|
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. |
