Shake the contents of the tube. A white precipitate appears. Write the equation

for the formation of the calcium salt of stearic acid.

Experiment 4. Salting out soap with sodium chloride

. Place 10 drops of

soap solution into the tube and add dry NaCl on the tip of the spatula. Vigorously

shake. As the salt dissolves, the solution begins to grow turbid and eventually

a white curd mass appears on the transparent liquid. Explain this phenomenon.

This process is called salting out, where the soap is precipitated.
