What type of solutions are formed on dissolving different concentrations of soap in water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At lower concentration , soap behaves as a normal solution of electrolyte in water. However, after a certain concentration, called critical micelle concentration, colloidal solution is formed due to aggregation of colloidal particles.
CMC for soap solution is `10^(-4)` to `10^(-3)molL^(-1)`.
