Question:
Simple soaps, like sodium laurate, NaC12H22O2, are ionic compounds with small cations and large covalent anions. These soaps are somewhat soluble in water but form a soap scum if the water is “hard,” which means it contains calcium ions Ca2+ or magnesium ions, Mg2+ . Write a net ionic equation for the formation of soap scum. Also classify the reaction type or types.
