  • To enhance the cleaning power of water
  • To increase the solubility of soap in water
  • To trap oily dirt within the micelle core (correct)
  • To decrease the surface tension of water
  • How can ethanol and ethanoic acid be differentiated based on their physical properties?

  • By their solubility in water
