Soap Salt that are formed by neutralization between a fatty acid and an alkali. One example of soap is sodium palmitate, CH(CH)COONa. It is formed when palmatic acid is neutralized by sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
CH (CH ) COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) CH (CH ) COONa(aq) + H O(l) Detergent Salt that are formed by neutralizing an alkyl hydrogen sulphate with an alkali. One example of detergent is sodium lauryl sulphate Detergents may contain many other substances in addition to the substances that does the cleaning and also to make it more effective. These substances are called additives
Biological enzymes are catalyst that increase the detergency or cleaning power of a detergent. Whitening agents include bleaches such as sodium perborate. They release chlorine and oxygen that remove stains and make clothes become whiter and cleaner.

Preparation of detergent Detergents are made using raw material obtained from petroleum

Preparation of soap Oils and fats are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. It made up through heating oils or fats with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH. The oil or fat molecules are broken up or hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acids. This reaction is the reverse of esterification (saponication) The fatty acids formed then react with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to form Saponication of oils or fats a salt (soap).

The cleansing action of soap and detergent One part of the soap and detergent anion is negatively charged (polar end). -It dissolves in water. It is hydrophilic or likes water. The other part has no charge (non-polar end) -It dissolves in oil or grease. It is hydrophobic or hates water. These two parts work together to remove grease.
(polar end)
hydrophilic part
When soap or detergent is added to the dirty surface of a piece of cloth covered with a layer of oil or grease, (a) The negatively charged heads (hydrophilic) of soap ions or detergents ions dissolves in water (b) The hydrocarbon tails (hydrophobic) of soap or detergent ions dissolves in the layer of grease. If the water is agitated slightly, the grease begins to lifted off the surface. When the cloth is rinsed with water, the droplets will be carried away Heating and stirring may help to loosen the dirt particles from the material being washed.
Soap
Less powerfull It is difficult to wash away all soap on clothes. The soap that remains leave and odour and spoils the fabric Slightly alkaline Determined by the fatty acids found in the oil or fat used to produce soap Forms scum with hard water
Detergent
More powerfull Rinse out well from clothes
pH Molecular structure
Formation of scum
Can be controlled to suit the cleaning task Can be modified to suit the cleaning task. For example, a detergent can be made specially for cleaning toilet bowls. Does not form scum with hard water

Types of food additives Preservatives: sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate Antioxidant: ascorbic acid Flavouring: Monosodium glutamate(MSG), aspartame Stabiliser and thickener: gelatin and acacia gum Dye: azo compounds, triphenyl compounds
Functions of food additives Preservatives: to inhibit or prevent the growth of moulds, yeast and bacteria that spoil foods Antioxidants: to prevent spoilage of food due to oxidation by oxygen Flavouring agents: to enhance the taste of food Stabilisers and thickeners: to improve the texture of foods Colouring agents: to restore the colour or to enhance the natural colour

Side effects of medicines Both traditional and modern medicines have side effects Some traditional medicines help people lose their weight by speeding up their metabolism. The side effects are an increase in blood pressure and heart rate Birth control pills are an example of modern medicine. Women who use them experience side effects such as hypertension, acne, and abnormal bleeding.
Correct ways of using medicines Use the correct amount or dosage and using it for the correct purpose For example, using antibiotics to treat infections caused by viruses is drug misuse. This is because antibiotics have no effect on viruses. Drug abuse is using drug for its intoxicating effect. For example, the use of Morphine, Viagra and ecstasy pills.
