Explanation:

The cleansing action of soaps is predicated on the nature of soaps as we have it.

  • A soap has the ability to remove dirt from materials.
  • The cleansing action of a soap is related to the structure of its molecule.
  • A molecule of soap has dual structure with polar head that is water loving and a long hydrocarbon tail which is hydrophobic.
  • The structure enables soap molecules to emulsify an organic dirt present on a fabric in water.
  • The soap causes the suspension of tiny oil droplets in the aqueous medium.
