ABSTRACT
The soap that is used for the analysis is Lux. The analytical tests carried out on the soap are moisture content and free caustic alkali. For the determination of the moisture content, the materials and reagent that was used are:
i. The Porcelain dish
ii. Glass rod and
iii. Hot air oven
The reagents are:
i. The petroleum spirit and
ii. Sodium acetate
For the determination of the free caustic alkali, the material and reagent that was used are:
a) Beaker
b) Clam and Stand conical flask
c) Pipette Separating funnel
d) 95% ethanol
e) Ph enophthalein indicator
f) Barium chloride and
g) Hydrochloric acid
After the analysis, it was observed that the percentage of water content was 20%, while the free caustic alkali was 0 ” 05%. Also after the analysis, it was found that soap that contains high caustic alkali will cause rashes and irritation of the skin. And the one that contain high moisture will now shrink and will not fume well. The soap (Lux) Analysed will be used for washing and general removal of dirty. It will also enhance removal of dirty. It also reduces the surface tension, and serves to remove odour and greasy surfaces.
