| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| soapwarts and soabberries are? | cleansing agents from europe and tropical america (respectively) |
| the leaves of soapwarts and soapberries contain ___ chemical compounds giving them lathery texture | saponins |
| fist detergents | saponins |
| ancient babylonians used what as cleansing agents | alkane solution from plant ashes |

| potassium soaps compared to sodium soaps | poassium soaps are softer than sodium and produce a finer lather |
| most liquids for hand cleaning contain | synthetic detergents |
| soaps can also be made by reacting fatty acids with ___ ie. shampoos and cosmetics | triethanolamine |
| describe a soap molecules dual nature | one end is ionic, polar, and hydrophilic (water attracting).....the rest of the molecule is hydrocarbonlike, nonpolar and hydrophobic (water repelling) |
