Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

                                     1.  Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa
                                   
                                     2.  Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

                2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 NaCl

                2C₁₇H₃₃COOK   + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.

Given the following equation, how many grams of PbCO3 will dissolve when exactly 1.0 L of 1.00 M H+ is added to 6.00 g of PbCO3?
9966 [12]
Calculating for the moles of H+
1.0 L x (1.00 mole / 1 L ) = 1 mole H+

From the given balanced equation, we can use the stoichiometric ratio to solve for the moles of PbCO3:
1 mole H+ x (1 mole PbCO3 / 2 moles H+) = 0.5 moles PbCO3

Converting the moles of PbCO3 to grams using the molecular weight of PbCO3
0.5 moles PbCO3 x (267 g PbCO3 / 1 mole PbCO3) = 84.5 g PbCO3
