What is soap?

A SOAP is the sodium or Potassium salt formed when aFatty acid that contains 12 to 18

carbon atoms per molecule is neutralized by an alkali

The general formula of soap is RCOO – Na + or R COO – K + where R is an alkyl group containing 12 to 18 carbon atoms. R can be saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons

What is general formula for soap?

iii)State two examples of soap

• Sodium palmitate• Potassium stearate

SAPONIFICATION is a process involves boiling fats or oils with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution or concentrated potassium hydroxide solution

What is saponification?

Explain the preparation of soap as shown in the diagram

• Oil or fat is boiled with concentrated sodium hydroxide to produce glycerol and soap

DETERGENT is the salt formed when an alkyl hydrogen sulphate is neutralized by an alkali

What is detergent?

The general formula of detergents are

where R represent a Long-chain hydrocarbon

State two examples of detergent

• Sodium alkyl sulphate• Sodium alkyl benzene

sulphonate

How is detergent prepared?

• A long chain hydrocarbon obtained from petroleum fractions is converted into organic acid.

• The organic acid is neutralise with NaOH to form detergent.

QUESTION 3

Describe the cleansing action of soap or detergent.a) State 3 abilities of both soap and detergent that enable them to act as cleansing agents

i. Ability to lower the surface tension of waterii. To emulsify oil or grease, and break them into smaller droplets iii. To hold them in suspension in water, so that they do not redeposit on the surface of the cloth

What does hard water contains?

• Hard water contains calcium ion, Ca2+ or magnesium ion, Mg2+.

Why do soaps form scum with hard water?

• Soap reacts with calcium ion, Ca2+ or magnesium ion, Mg2+ in hard water to form insoluble salt, called scum

Why is soap not effective in hard water?

• Because formation of scum reduce the amount of soap for cleaning and thus wastage of soap occur.

Why is detergent more effective than soap in hard water?

• Detergent form soluble salt with calcium ion, Ca2+ or magnesium ion, Mg2+ in hard water.

• Therefore the cleaning power is not affected by hard water.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINES

MODERN MEDICINES

a) What is modern medicine?Medicines that are made by scientists in the laboratory

1. ANALGESICS

FUNCTIONS:Relieves pain without affecting consciousness

1. ANALGESICS

EXAMPLES:ASPIRIN – for inflammation such as arthritic pain and dental pain. The active ingredient is Acetylsalicylic acid.

1. ANALGESICS The structure is:COOH

O

C

O

CH3

CODEINE – used in headache tablets and cough medicines

PARACETAMOL – relieves moderate pain

1. ANALGESICS - EXAMPLES

2. ANTIBIOTICS

FUNCTIONS:Kill or inhibit growth of infectious bacteria

2. ANTIBIOTICSEXAMPLES:PENICILIN – to kill bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia

STREPTOMYCIN – used to treat whooping cough and pneumonia

3. PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC MEDICINESFUNCTIONS:Control symptoms of mental illness

EXAMPLES:STIMULANTS – to reduce fatigue and elevate mood e.g. Amphetamine

3. PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC MEDICINESANTIDEPRESSANT – to reduce tension and anxiety e.g. Tranquilisers and barbiturates

ANTIPSYCHOTIC – to treat psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia e.g. clozapine

WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE FULL COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS?

•To ensure all the bacteria are killed•the bacteria may become more resistant to the antibiotic. •When this happens, the antibiotic is no longer effective. •a different and stronger antibiotic to fight the same infection is needed
