Answer:

alkali and hydrophiillc & hydrophobic molecules

Explanation:

Soaps are cleaning agents that are usually made by reacting alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide) with naturally occurring fat or fatty acids. The reaction produces sodium salts of these fatty acids, which improve the cleaning process by making water better able to lift away greasy stains from skin, hair, clothes, and just about anything else

Soap breaks up the oil into smaller drops, which can mix with the water. It works because soap is made up of molecules with two very different ends. One end of soap molecules love water - they are hydrophilic. The other end of soap molecues hate water - they are hydrophobic.

Hydrophobic ends of soap molecule all attach to the oil. Hydrophilic ends stick out into the water. This causes a drop of oil to form:

These drops of oil are suspended in the water. This is how soap cleans your hands - it causes drops of grease and dirt to be pulled off your hands and suspended in water. These drops are washed away when you rinse your hands.

Hope this helps!

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

Solutions can only be separated by using distillation not filtration. Why can't a solution be filtered? Explain using the terms
garri49 [273]
<h2>Solutions</h2>

Explanation:

  • Solutions are formed when a solute gets dissolved in a solvent. The solid that gets dissolved is called solute whereas the liquid in which the solid gets dissolved is called the solvent. On dissolving,  the particles of the solute  gets incorporated between the inter-particle space of the solvent. This means that there is no significant difference between the particle size of solute and solvent. However the boiling points of solutions can differ significantly. This is the reason, the solutions cannot be separated by the method of filtration but by the method of distillation.
