7. Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water? Will a micelle
be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also?
Ans. Soap is sodium or potassium salt of long chain fatty acid. Two ends of soap molecules
have different properties. The ionic end is hydrophilic. It dissolve in water while the
hydrogen chain is hydrophobic, it dissolve in hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon chains are
oriented towards the oil droplet while the ionic ends are oriented towards water.
