Abstrac / Summary

The experiment which is to prepare the soap and detergent had been conducted on
24th November 2014. The experiment is conducted to prepare soap and compare its
properties to that of a synthetic detergent. Basically, the experiment used to prepare
the soap and thus, to compare the properties between the soap that had been
prepared early with the synthetic detergent in the form of precipitation, emulsification
and cleaning abilities. Based on the experiment that had been conducted, it can be
concluded that the soap has the properties of emulsifying oil whereas the detergent
has not. This is because the soap has the abilities of forming precipitates and it can
be seen clearly in the soap solution while doing the experiment. Whereas the
detergent has not forms precipitates at all. Thus, the experiment is completed and
succesfully conducted.

Abstract

the purpose of this experiment are to prepare soap with using mineral oils
to study and compare the properties of soap and synthetic detergent
to check whether soap and detergent are precipitate or emulsified in CaCl,
MgCl, FeCl and acidic.
