  • Soaps and detergents behave like true solutions at low concentrations but form colloids above Critical micelle concentration(CMC) which is 10-4 M -10-3M due to association
  • C17H35COO-Na+ is sodium stearate(soap)
  • C17H35 part is Hydrophobic(nonpolar) part(tail)
  • COO- part is Hydrophilic(polar) part(head)
  • At low concentration; C17H35COO-Naions present on surface with COO- groups in water and C17H35  chains staying awayand remain at the surface

Micelles are formed due to association above CMC ;   I is false

The Hydrophobic part dissolves the grease deposit ; II is true

Hydrocarbon chain is Hydrophobic , anionic part is hydrophilic;  III is false
