Answer» Very BTU hi At the surface of the water the hydrophobic tail of soal will be insoluble in water and the soap will align along the surface of water. with the ionic end in water and the hydrocarbon tail protruding out of water. Inside the water these molecules show a unique orientation that keep the hydrocarbon portion out of the water. This is done by forming clusters of molecules in which the hydrophobic tails are in the interior of the cluster and on the surface of clustetr, ionic and ends are present. This formation of cluster of molecule is called micelle. To wash away with the loosened particles in the form of Micelle from the surface of the cloth it is either scrubed or mechanically beaten. Micelle is there is colloids in the solution and does not come together precipitate due to ion and ion repulsion. So ,the dust suspended in the micelle is also rinsed way. |
