(a)
(i) K: - consists of the ionic region
- dissolves in water
L: - consists of the hydrocarbon chain
- dissolves in grease
(ii)
- The tail region (hydrocarbon) emulsifies the grease
- The oil is broken up into small droplets
(b)
- Hard water contains mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium salt
- Calcium and magnesium ions act on the soap
- Precipitate (scum) that is insoluble in water is formed
- Soap will not produce bubbles
- Detergent does form strong bonds with calcium and magnesium ions
- Scum is not formed
- Detergent forms bubbles in hard water
- Detergent cleans more effectively in hard water as compared with soap
