Question

Synthetic soaps are superior to ordinary soaps because:

• A. they are cheap
• B. they need not boiling water to wash
• C. they can be used even in hard water
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C they can be used even in hard water

Synthetic soap tends to dissolve in hard water because of chemical characteristics. Hydrophilic or water-loving groupings in their molecular structure and hydrophobic or water-hating groupings. The higher the Hydrophilic Lypophilic Balance the more soluble the soap is in water. This makes the synthetic soaps superior to ordinary soaps.
