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.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Low value for copper recovery

Explanation:

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.

BartSMP [9]
Lemon juice has the highest h+ concentration. The more acidic something is the more H+ it has.

ph = 1 is the most acidic
ph = 14 is the most basic (opposite of acidic... think of soap.)
