They can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water

because more soap eliminates the effect the minerals in hard water has on

its cleaning capacity.

Hard water contains minerals such as

  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Iron etc.

They reduce the cleaning capacity of the soap. This is why soft water is

preferably used as it doesn't contain these minerals.

When more soap is added, the effect of the minerals reduces thereby

bringing about very little or no effect on the cleaning capacity of the soap.

Explanation:

Ordinary water does not remove dirt from clothes or skin because the dirt present is oily or greasy in nature. Soaps are one of the most commonly used cleansing agents and are capable of reacting with water to remove dirt. They are either animal origin or plant in origin.

Chemically, they are water soluble sodium or potassium salts of higher fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid or oleic acid. Fatty acids are found in fats and oils. When fat or oil is treated with alkali such as caustic soda or caustic potash soap and glycerin are produced.

Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction
Tatiana [17]

Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in S_{2}O^{2-}_{3} is +2 and I_{2}(aq) has 0 oxidation state.

In S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq) oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 2I^{-}(aq) oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

What is the difference between a mixture and compound
bonufazy [111]
A compound is made up of a single type of molecule. A mixture, on the other hand, is made up of different substances that can be distinguished from one another.
As an example:
Water (pure water) is a compound since it's only made up of water molecules
Seawater is a mixture since it is made up of water molecules and soluble salts
