6. Introduction
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of
higher fatty acids. The higher fatty acids may be
such as stearic acid (C17H35COOH), palmitic acid
(C15H31COOH). A soap molecule has a lipophilic(oil
soluble) part and a hydrophilic (water soluble) part.
Soaps are used for washing purposes. When soap is
shaken with water, it produces foam which is
responsible for removal of dirt. A soap which
produces more foam is more effective in cleaning.
The cleansing action of soap can be explained
keeping in mind that a soap molecule contains a non-
polar lipophilic group and a polar hydrophilic group.
When soap is applied, the non-polar alkyl group
dissolves in oil droplets while the polar -COO-
Na+
group remains dissolved in water.

7. In this way, each oil droplet is surrounded by
negative charge.
These negatively charged oil droplets cannot coalesce
and a stable emulsion is formed. These oil droplets
containing dirt particles can be washed away with
water.
Washing or cleansing capacity of a soap decreases in
hard water. Hard water contains Ca2+
and Mg2+
ions
which interact with soap to form curdy ppt. of calcium
and Magnesium salts of higher fatty acids.

(C17H35COO)2Ca + 2Na+
2C17H35COONa + Mg2+
(C17H35COO)2 Mg + 2Na+
The hardness of water can be removed by adding
washing soda (Na2CO3) whereby Ca 2+
and Mg2+
ions
gets precipitated as their carbonates.

This project aims at comparing the foaming capacity
of various samples of soaps of different brands

8. Experiment
Aim-
To comparethe forming
capacity ofvarious samples
ofsoaps.

9. Theory
The foaming capacity of soap depends upon
the nature of the soap and its concentration.
This may be compared by shaking equal
volumes of solutions of solutions of different
samples having the same concentration with
same force for the same amount of time. The
solutions are then allowed to stand when the
foam produced during shaking disappearin
each sample is determined. The longer the time
taken for disappearanceof the foam for the
given sample of soap, greater is its foaming
capacity or cleaning action.

10. Apparatus And Materials Required
 Five 100 ml conical flasks,
 Five test tubes,
 100ml measuring cylinder,
 Test Tubes stand
 Weighing machine
 Stop Watch
 Five Different soap samples
 Distilled water
 Tap water

11. Procedure Take five100mlconical flasks and the no.
them from 1 to 5.Put 20mlof water in
each flasks and add 10grams of soap.
 Warm the contents of test tube to get a
solution.
 Take five test tubes, add1mlof soap
solution to 3mlof water .
[Repeat this process for each soap solution in different test
tubes.]
 Close the mouth of the test tubes; shake
it vigorously for a minute. Do the same
for all test tubes with equal force.
 Start the timer immediately and

12. Observations
Test Tube
No.
Brand name of the soap
Time taken for disappearance of
foam
1. Dove 11.42 min
2. Lux 3.28 min
3. Tetmosol 5.10 min
4. Santoor 15.31 min
5. Cinthol 9.40 min
Result
The Cleansing capacity of the soaps taken in order:
Santoor > Dove > Cinthol > Tetmosol > Lux
From the above experiment, we can infer that Santoor
has the highest forming capacity, in other words,
highest cleaning capacity. Whereas, Lux has the
least time period for disappearance of froth
proves it least cleaning capacity.

14. Preface
Soap is an anionic surfactant used in
conjunction with water for washing
and cleaning, which historically comes
either in solid bars or in form of
viscous liquid. Soap consists of K and
Na of fatty acids and is obtained by
reacting common oils or fats with
strong alkaline in a process known as
saponification.
The general formula of soap is
Fatty end -CH3-(CH2)n
water soluble end -COONa
