Question

Having samples such as extra virgin olive oil, corn oil and coconut oil. did the detergent bevave differently than the natural samples when treated with CaCI2? would you expect a detergent such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate to react with hard water cations some manner as an ordinary soap molecule? Explain clearly. does the contrast in solubilitties between soaps and detergents reflect a difference in the chemical or physical properties of these substances? Describe how the structural modification in a typical detergent alters the compound's solubility in hard water compared to a soap?

Explanation / Answer

a)

Yes, they should behav edifferently since the olive oil, corn and coconut oils have different size molecules

b)

Yes, since the other gruop will help as well, this is anion cation soap, whereas the other ordinary soap is only cation soap

c)

Yes, this is typical due to their composition, the longer saturate chains, the least soluble they will be, higher melting points, etc...

d)

We typically modify saturation of detergents so we achieve different resulsts in solubility and final look
