Introduction
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of higher fatty acids like stearic, palmitic and
oleic acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. They contain a long hydrocarbon
chain of about 10-20 carbon with one carboxylic acid group as the functional group.
A soap molecule a tadpole shaped structure, whose ends have different
polarities. At one end is the long hydrocarbon chain that is non-polar and
hydrophobic, i.e., insoluble in water but oil soluble. At the other end is the short
polar carboxylate ion which is hydrophilic i.e., water soluble but insoluble in oil
and grease.
