At the very outset, I express my heart felt gratitude and ineptness to Mrs. Satinder Kaur, Principal, Govt. Vikram College of Commerce l, Patiala for granting me permission to work on project .
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Ritika who has been guiding force for my report on Investigation of foaming capacity of “INFORMATION TECNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS”.
I am also thankful to my friend, for their support and encouragement in finding out the appropriate material for this report.

Project Report
On
“Investigation on the foaming capacity of different samples of washing soaps and the effect of addition of sodium carbonate on them”
Aim of the Project
1. Compare the foaming capacity of different washing soap.
2. The effect of addition of sodium carbonate in them.
Experiment - I
Compare the foaming capacities of different samples of soap.
Apparatus Material
1. Five 100ml conical Flask 1. Five different Soap Sample.
2. Five test tubes 2. Distilled water
3. Stop watch
Theory
Solutions of different samples of soap are prepared by dissolving their equal weights. In equal volume of distilled water. Solutions are shaken vigorously and allowed to stand. Times taken for the disappearance of foam are noted for each sample. Longer the time taken for the disappearance of foam, greater is the foaming capacity of that very sample.
(from tap water ) (ppt.) (in water)
Therefore foaming capacity of the tap water increase in the presence of sodium Carbonate.
Introduction
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids present in oils and facts. Soaps are represented by the general formula RCOONa or RCOOK, where R = etc. They are obtained by the alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats (Glycerides).
Fat or oil + 3NaOH Glycerol 3RCOONa
The above reaction is called ‘saponification’. A soap molecule has a polar end {- COO Na+} and a non polar end
