Soap was made for cleaning washing and such. It’s important to use soap in the process of cleaning your clothes because not only does it usually leave a better scent but it helps take out stains and such. That’s why we use soap to clean our bodies, faces, dogs, certain materials. So that the dirt and any other debris comes off. Think about washing the dishes, you don’t wash them with only water. You use soap because it’s the most logical effective way to clean things.

Answer:

Water alone can't clean clothes because it won't attach to molecules of grease and dirt.

Explanation:

The surfactants it contains are made of molecules that have two different ends. One end is strongly attracted to water; the other is attracted to oily substances like grease.

Veronika [31]
<h2>In the name, iron(III) oxide, the (III) represents: D) the electrical charge of iron</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

To attain stability the chemical bond is formed .

Chemical bond

It is a kind of linkage that binds one atom with the other .

The atoms do so in order to attain stable noble gas configuration .

To form chemical bond they either:

Loose electrons : when atoms loose electrons they acquire positive charge which is equal to the number of electrons lost .

Gain electrons: After gaining electrons they acquire negative charge which is equal to the number of electrons gained by an atom.

share electrons : With sharing no charges are develop .

<em>In the above asked question when iron combines with oxygen it forms iron oxide : where iron looses 3 electrons and oxygen gains 2 electrons .That is the reason ,III here represents  the electrical charge of iron</em>

g100num [7]

Answer:

using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide

Explanation:

<em>The option that would likely increase the rate of reaction would be to use a more concentrated potassium hydroxide.</em>

<u>The concentration of reactants is one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction. The more the concentration of the reactants, the faster the rate of reaction. </u>

Granted that there are enough of the other reactants, increasing the concentration of one of the reactants will lead to an increased rate of reaction.

Hence, using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide which happens to be one of the reactants would likely increase the rate of reaction.
