Question

State true or false.

Soft soaps are potassium salts of higher fatty acids.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Potassium salts of fatty acids should yield soft soaps because they are more soluble in water than sodium salts of fatty acids (which yield hard soaps). They contain more water, so they are softer.

Hence the given statement is true.
