SOAP BUBBLES
SOAP BUBBLES
Soap bubbles are not just for play, though. They are used in the arts to enhance various performances and also in studied in mathematics and physics, used to promote muscle development in speech therapy, and even in Chemistry. Soap bubbles role in chemistry are different and have different reaction.
Soap molecule consists of chain of atoms of carbon and hydrogen. Bubbles are a sign that a chemical reaction is taking place.When soap molecules are added to water they form clusters Clusters of the soap molecules are called micelles.When clusters are formed the hydrophobic ends are in the middle of the cluster with the hydrophilic ends surrounding them and micelles move to where their polar ends are in the water and the nonpolar ends are located on the surface of the water. The arrangement results in lower surface tension on the surface of the water and this lower tension allows the surface to have more properties.
Soap bubble are often made in factories, but also soap bubbles can made at home . Bubbles are made by water, soap, and glycerin.
In the future , soap bubbles reaction would be interesting, and scientist might use flaming bubbles in some experiment.
