SALTS: A chemical compound consisting of ions that is resulted with

an exchange of ions
SURFACTANT: Chemicals that alter the properties of surfaces in
liquids
EMULSIFYING AGENTS: Chemicals whose job is to coagulate or clump
insoluble precipitates to allow them to mix together with the solution
_______________________________________________________
HOW THEY FORM: Micelle form through the electrostatic attraction
and repulsion of adjacent surfactants and water molecules. The
surfactant’s hydrophobic tails point away from the water, fusing
together with nearby surfactants with their hydrophobic tails. Thus,
we have a ball-shaped bunch of surfactant with their hydrophilic
heads pointing outward to the water and their hydrophobic tails
pointing inward.
ABILITY GAINED: This micelle now has the ability to coat hydrophobic
molecules such as oil or grease when used in cleaning.
HOW ABILITY IS USEFUL: If micelles are in close contact with oil, their
hydrophilic heads avoid the hydrophobic molecules of the oil, thus
allowing the hydrophobic tails to bind together with the oil’s surface.
END-PRODUCT OF ABILITY: This causes the oil to be coated within a
micelle, and now the oil particle is to move freely soluble within the
surrounding water molecules. We can say the oil is now “solubilized”.
