I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my
teacher Ms. Monika Katoch as well as our principal Col. Veer
Singh who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonder
project on the topic Foaming capacity of different
soap, which also helped me in doing a lot of research and I
came to know about so many new things. I am really thankful to
them. Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and
friends who helped me a lot in finishing this project within the
limited time. I am making this project not only for marks but to
also increase my knowledge.
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED ME.

Introduction
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of higher fatty acid like
stearic acid, plamitic and oleic acids can be either saturated
or unsaturated. They contain hydrocarbon chain about 10-
20 carbon with one carboxylic acid group as the functional
group.

Long Hydrocarbon Chain
[Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic end]

Cleansing action of soap decreases in hard water. Hard
water contains calcium amd magnesium ions which react
with sodium carbonate to produce insoluble carbonates of
higher fatty acids

Aim
To compare the foaming capacities of five different soaps
APPARATUS :
5 test tubes, 5 conical flasks(100ml), test tube stand, bunsen
burner and stop watch.
MATERIALS REQUIRED :
5 different samples of soap and distilled water
8
THEORY :
The foaming capacity of soap sample depends upon the
nature of soap and its concentration. This can be compared
for various samples of soaps by taking the same
concentration of solution and shaking them.
9
PROCEDURE :
10
Similarly the other test tubes are shaken well for equal
number of times( i.e.-5 times) with approximately with
the same force and the time taken for the disappearance
of foam in each case is recorded.
11
Observation:
12
CONCLUSION:
The soap for which the time taken for the disappearance of
foam is highest has maximum foaming capacity and is the
best quality soap among the soaps tested.
