Which of these substances contributes to soaps slippery texture? -an acid -a base -carbonate -water

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The hydrolysis of fats and oils in the presence of a high pressure steam results in the formation of a glycerin and fatty acids.

Later on, fatty acids are purified using the process of distillation and then they are neutralized with a base resulting in the formation of soap and water.

Therefore, the slippery texture of soaps is due to a base.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
