Soap is a salt of a compound as a fatty acid. A soap molecule consist of a long hydrocarbon chain(composed of hydrogens and carbons) with a carboxylic acid group on one end which is ionic bonded to a metal ion, usually in sodium and potassium. Detergents are structurally similar to soaps, but differ in water-soluble portion. In this experiment we had to prepare soap and compare its properties to that of a synthetic detergent. We also had to compare the relative cleansing ability and costs of soap and some detergents. We were using saponification which date back to 600 BC. There were two different parts for this experiment that requires us to let the making of the soap.

...McPherson Everyday Chemistry of Soap The choice that I've chosen for my term paper was the everyday chemistry of soap. The reason I chose this is because I wonder how the soap actually makes things clean, and why when the chemistry part of soap touches your skin or clothes, it up lifts the dirt. Also, I see people that walk around looking dirty, but have iPhones and good material things and wonder if they know how important cleansing your purees really are. For those who don’t know what soap is or what it is used for, soap is a salt of a fatty acid. Soaps are mainly used as surfactants for washing, bathing, and cleaning, but they are also used in textile spinning and are important components of lubricants. Now of days, soap is made up of the fats and oils and reacts with lye which is a sodium hydroxide. Lard, palm oil and coconut oil are types of solids that are used to stay hard and resisted from dissolving is soap dishes and water. Even though soap is known for its cleaning ability, it’s not its only purpose. Some soap can be mixed with gasoline to get gelatinous napalm. It takes longer to catch on fire than pure gasoline. It’s also found in Canned Heat which is soap and alcohol mixed that can be used when you want to keep food warm outside or something. I was upset when I found out that my lab class wasn’t going to be able to do the soap lab due to snow days, it would have been the perfect hands on lab to go right along with my paper. Soap is used in many different ways...

It was advertised as the ideal soap for the factory worker. Soap which killed germs and brought freshness to the heavily sweating and sometimes also dust covered worker The carboxylic soap of yore is no more only the germ killing bathing delight.

...Colgate-Palmolive Colgate-Palmolive is a multinational; consumer-products based company that focuses on household, health and personal products, specifically things like soap, detergent, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Colgate-Palmolive also produces veterinary products under its line called “Hill’s.”1 The history of the Colgate firm dates all the way back to 1806, but their first real success came many years later. In 1873, Colgate introduced its first toothpaste, which was originally sold in jars. The company sold its first tubed toothpaste, called Colgate Ribbon Dental Cream, in 1896. Also in 1896, the firm hired a man named Martin Ittner. While Colgate-Palmolive was under his control, one of the first legitimate research labs was founded. By 1908, tubed toothpaste was being sold in mass. 1 Colgate had two sons, one named James Boorman Colgate, who was a primary trustee of Colgate University in Wisconsin. His company, the B.J. Johnson Company, was making soaps composed entirely of palm and olive oil. After some time, the soap became a huge success. So huge that the soap was renamed Palmolive, a name that we are all very familiar with to this day.1 At the turn of the century, Palmolive became the world’s best-selling line of soap. Soon, a soap manufacturer from Missouri called Peet Brothers wanted to merge with Palmolive. Colgate agreed, creating a company called Palmolive-Peet. In 1928, Colgate was bought out by Palmolive-Peet, creating the powerhouse company known as Colgate-Palmolive-Peet...

...without much hard work, our OMOSOAP with its perceived- high quality would be aspirational and for once affordable to the consumers. We will manufacture the soap bar as a cuboid in OMO’s symbolic colors- Red and Blue. As mentioned in section one, this will make our product ‘standout’ when consumers are washing with OMOSOAP in a group, and hence strengthen the effect of OMO’s brand identity. PACKAGING: We package the soap using our brand name OMO so that the core benefits of our product (stain removal) can be conveyed explicitly. In addition, for packaging we use the same colors (red and blue) and logo as used for OMO detergent. This we believe would encourage emotional response and better customer recall (Kotler, 1997, p. 38). The advantages of our product are: ·Core product: The soap removes the toughest of stains and makes the clothes stain-free and shining. ·Actual product: According to the evaluations by the NE consumers towards detergents, they attach great importance to the quantity of foam produced in the detergent, by which they judge the ability to clean and whiten clothes. Our product produces a large quantity of lather when used. The two color bar will be engineered to be distinctive, good to smell, easy to hold and to last longer than any other soap bar. ·Augmented product: The soap bar with its 2-in-1 action of stain removal and addition of fragrance would leave the customers with a ‘happy feeling’ once they have done their...

... September 9, 2015 MRS. VILLABROSA ASSIGNMENT: CLEANING AGENT TYPES OF CLEANING DETERGENTS This standard includes general information on the different types of cleaning detergents, their typical uses, and their advantages and limitations. Sample products are listed when known. SOAP Uses: 1. A surfactant (Surface Active Agent). 2. Soaps are produced from naturally occurring fats and oils. Soapless or synthetic detergents are manufactured from organic chemicals usually derived from petroleum. Advantages: 1. Very effective as a bactericide. 2. It will form gels, emulsify oil and lower the surface tension of water. A lower surface tension allows the soap to come in contact with greater surface area than with water alone. Disadvantages: 1. When used in hard water, soap can produce a scum - calcium and magnesium salts present in hard water react with the soap to cause this to happen. Soapless or synthetic detergents do not leave a residual film behind. 2. Considerable rinsing is required to remove soap scum. 3. Soap may produce a greasy build-up on the surface which can be slippery. 4. More expensive than synthetic detergents. Sample Products: 1. "Joy", "Ivory" (Procter & Gamble Co.) ANIONIC DETERGENTS Uses: 1. Commonly known as a "neutral" detergent. 2. The most widely used soapless detergent. 3. Available in both liquid...

...IT401 Information Technology Architectures Discussion Board 3 August 22, 2015 The function of middle ware is to take care of requests. Imagine a room full of people that speak different languages. They need a translator in order to communicate with each other. This is also the case with different computer platforms or software. Middleware is like a translator. Middleware grants users to communicate with each other and other applications in a diversified computing environment (Rosencrace, 2000). Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is middleware that allows various computers and software to work together without being specifically configure to do so. CORBA is standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG), which is responsible for conceiving the standard architecture for distributed objects (Rouse, n.d.). This is done through an object request broker (ORB). An ORB is the part of the program that acts as an intermediary between the requests from the client for a service and the fulfillment of that request. ORB also implements security standards. This is all done in a transparent manner which is not apparent to the user (Gordon, 2015). Another part of the CORBA standard is the Interface Definition Language (IDL), which is used for the interface of remote objects. This is so that different languages can be used by clients (Rouse, n.d.). Advantages of CORBA is that this architecture does support many operating systems, platforms, and languages and...

... .. Exercise 132 in Ch. 11 Aerosol cans carry clear warnings against incineration because of the high pressures that can develop upon heating. Suppose a can contains a residual amount of gas at a pressure of 755 mm Hg and a temperature of 25 °C. What would the pressure be if the can were heating to 1155 °C? P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 P1=755mm Hg T1=25 °C T2=1155 °C Volume is constant. P_2=(P_1 V_1 T_2)/(T_1 V_2 ) P_2=((755mm Hg)(1)(1155°C))/((25°C)(1)) P2=34881mmHg Exercise 104 in Ch. 12 Water does not easily remove grease from dirty hands because grease is nonpolar and water is polar; therefore they are immiscible. The addition of soap, however, results in the removal of the grease. Examine the following structure of soap and explain why soap works. Water and grease (or oil) do not mix because water is made up of polar molecules while oil is non-polar. The water molecules are attracted to other water...
