The pH of the solution : 12
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Reaction
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O
mol HCOOH =
mol NaOH =
Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]
ICE method :
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O

Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :
pOH=-log[OH⁻]
pOH=-log 10⁻²=2
pH+pOH=14
pH=14-2=12
Answer:
Micelle Formation
Explanation:
The soap molecule has a nonpolar and a polar cationic end when it is dissolved in water. When it dissolves in water, the sodium stearate congregates to form small spheres (called micelles) with the on the inside and the on the surface. The anionic end can attract and interacts with the polar water molecules, while the interact with the nonpolar grease. This allows the soapy water to remove the grease by trapping the grease inside the micelle.
