Raw materials used in the manufacturing of indigenous soap

Fat

Alkali

Explanation:

Fat and alkali are the two primary raw materials needed to manufacture soap.

Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is generally used as an alkali. The use of alkali depends on the intended application of the soap.

Raw animal fat was used in the past but these days, processed fat is used in the soap manufacturing process. Vegetable fats ( e.g, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil) are also being used in soap manufacturing.

Additives are also used to enrich the color and texture of the soap.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
