Moisture Content Of Washing Soap

Here the soap used was Sunlight Bar Soap

AIM:

To determine the moisture content of sunlight bar soap.

APPARATUS:

China dish, Electronic balance.,Oven

REQUIREMENTS:
Sliced sample of sunlight bar soap

PROCEDURE:

• Wash the china dish.
• Dry the china dish in an air oven, cool .
• About 5gm of sliced soap sample is taken.
• Note the weight.
• This is added to the previously dried china dish.
• Note the weight.
• China dish with the sliced soap sample is dried in a hot air oven at 50- 60 degree for 1 hour.
• Cool  & take the weight.
• From the loss of weight, the moisture content of washing soap can be calculated.

RESULT:

I was able to calculate the % of moisture in sunlight bar soap as 24.16

I hope this is an interesting simple experiment for everyone.
