ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
At the very outset, I express my heart felt gratitude and ineptness to Mrs. Satinder Kaur, Principal, Govt. Vikram College of Commerce l, Patiala for granting me permission to work on project .
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Ritika who has been guiding force for my report on Investigation of foaming capacity of “INFORMATION TECNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS”.
I am also thankful to my friend, for their support and encouragement in finding out the appropriate material for this report.

Project Report
On
“Investigation on the foaming capacity of different samples of washing soaps and the effect of addition of sodium carbonate on them”

Aim of the Project
1. Compare the foaming capacity of different washing soap.
2. The effect of addition of sodium carbonate in them.

Experiment - I

Compare the foaming capacities of different samples of soap.

Apparatus Material
1. Five 100ml conical Flask 1. Five different Soap Sample.
2. Five test tubes 2. Distilled water
3. Stop watch

Theory
Solutions of different samples of soap are prepared by dissolving their equal weights. In equal volume of distilled water. Solutions are shaken vigorously and allowed to stand. Times taken for the disappearance of foam are noted for each sample. Longer the time taken for the disappearance of foam, greater is the foaming capacity of that very sample.

(from tap water ) (ppt.) (in water)
Therefore foaming capacity of the tap water increase in the presence of sodium Carbonate.
Introduction
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids present in oils and facts. Soaps are represented by the general formula RCOONa or RCOOK, where R = etc. They are obtained by the alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats (Glycerides).
Fat or oil + 3NaOH Glycerol 3RCOONa
The above reaction is called ‘saponification’. A soap molecule has a polar end {- COO Na+} and a non polar end

    It can contaminate groundwater, poisons ecosystems and the environment. Soaps contains chemicals that harm fish, deteriorate water quality, and cause algae to grow. For example, by washing your car in your driveway, the soap picks up the dirt, grease, and oil that will flow into nearby storm drains which run directly into bodies of water. Furthermore, soaps that are used on the skin in the shower can irritate the skin since it contains dyes and perfumes. Lastly, antibacterial soap contains chemicals and antibacterial agents that affects the microbiota balance on your skin. The chemicals from the soap kill microflora which are beneficial to your health. For example, by using antibacterial soap, you are more subject to bacterial and yeast infections since you are killing the microflora which can naturally prevent those…

    We reached our goals through our experimentation. We tested the solubility of each of the starting and ending materials in water, HCl, NaOH, toluene, and acetone. We discovered that the starting materials would only dissolve in toluene. To make the soap, we obtained about 10 mL of vegetable oil and 10 g of lard and we placed them both in separate 250 mL beakers. While we were stirring the compounds, we also added 15 mL of 6 M NaOH drop by drop and 1 mL of glycerol.…

    Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment, we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface of things and dissolve it in water. We used Crisco as our triglyceride and were able to produce a soap by breaking the ester bonds with NaOH.…

    coli. In part one of the experiment to investigate the effect of hand-washing using different soaps, Hibiscrub had the best results with the least microbial growth after hand-washing. This is because the soap contains chlorhexidine gluconatem which is an antimicrobial agent (Netdoctor, 2014). Some students may have found microbial growth after hand-washing because of the paper towels they used to clean themselves with. In another way, microbial growth could be as a result of soap…

    The science project to be researched and experimented is whether bacteria can become resistant to antibacterial soaps. Bacteria will be grown in an agar broth containing .01%, .1%, .5% and 10% antibacterial soap. To fully understand the subject, information on everything necessary to conduct this experiment and comprehend the results was researched. Once the experiment is completed a conclusion will be able to be made as to whether or not bacteria can become resistant to antibacterial soaps…

    To find the solubility of the fats, oils, soaps, and detergents, each of them were placed into different solvents to see if they dissolved. None of the oils and fats were soluble in water (H2O), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), or hydrochloric acid (HCl), but they were soluble in toluene and partly soluble in acetone. Testing the soaps and detergents for their solubility in water is the most important solubility test because they should form a lather that allows them to clean easily. Most of the soaps and detergents did not readily dissolve in water, but with agitation they all began to break apart. The lard soap was the least soluble in water, while detergent 2 was the most. All of the rest of the soap and detergents were only slightly soluble when initially placed in the water. Detergent 2 was the most soluble in many of the other solvents while lard was the least. All of the soaps and detergents except detergent 2 were not soluble in both NaOH and HCl. Detergent 2 was slightly soluble in these two substances. While…
