Soap is a product of a reaction between a fat (oll) and sodium hydroxide (base). Soap is used to clean fabrics and remove grease and oil from house hold utensils like plates and cups. Soap molecules have two parts, one is hydrophobic (water hating) and the other one is hydrophilic (water loving). The hydrophobic tails of the soap molecule dissolves grease or oll by allowing them to float on water and this emulsifies them. The hydrophilic head dissolves in water and this helps to wet the material. The flow diagram below shows how soap is industrially produced. Fat + Sodium Hydroxide glycerine + soap Step 1: Saponification A mixture of tallow (animal fat) and coconut oll is mixed with sodium hydroxide and heated. Step 2: Glycerine removal Glycerine is more valuable than soap so most of it removed. Some is left to make the soap smooth and soft. Salt is added to wet soap causing it to separate into soap and glycerine Step 3: Soap purification ‘Any remaining sodium hydroxide is neutralized with a weak acid such as citric acid.Step 4: Finishing Additives such as colour and perfume are mixed with the soap and itis then shaped into bars for sale.

This reaction is known as neutralization. Neutralization can be defined as a reaction between an acid and abase to form salt and water. The salt is in two parts, one part is from a base and another part is from an acid. For example, f hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride (common salt) is formed.

Going home The paverty and life struggles make Themba try to escape from his rural home do not leave him even when he is away from home. Read about his experiences till he comes back home to roost. 1 The ravaging pangs of hunger pierced right through Themba, stabbing relentlessly at his empty belly as he trudged through the night. Perhaps if it was still light, he would have foraged for a handful of wild berries from the nearby bushes. But even imagining that was akin to wishing for the moon. 2 The darkness had already camouflaged and enveloped everything. Tuming into a path that 5 branched aff the pothaled main road was mainly due to instinct instead of any visibility factor. The chilly air and light drizzle did nothing to add to his comfort, Themba thought, as he pulled his aged worn bomber jacket to his body. 3 Quickening his steps, the mounting excitement he had made him immune to the pain caused by the scratches of shrubs and thorny bushes. Just one more kilometre, and he 10 would reach his destination. His grandmother's home, a place of warmth and comfort, far away from the misery he had left behind. 4 “Diana mntanomntanami,” kind eyes and a gentle smile creased the face that had seen so many years had regarded him. “Finish your food so that you can grow up and become big and strong like your father,” his 15 grandmather had said as she pushed a plate full af sadza and sour milk towards him. That was years ago when he was six years old, 5 "Ouch!" Themba was brought out of his reverie by a thorn that had plerced right through his under-sized age-eaten slippers into the sole of his foot. Removing the offending item, Themba thought of the hardships he had endured these past six months 20 6 “My child, you should go to school and get yourself a good education,” his father's words echoed in his head. Themba had not even sat for his Ordinary Level examinations. What he had managed to do was steal one of his father's calves and pay umalayitsha whe was to take him straight to Johannesburg.10 " 12 1B 4 Dreams of going to South Africa and returning a hero had all turned sour. He had expected ta come back driving a new BMW like Zenzo from the next village. He had even imagined the colour of the car. Red. It would have been red, But umalayitsha had dodged him at the border. The man had even disappeared with his suitcase. Stranded, with na one to turn ta he had first tried his luck at the mines ta no avail. A Good Samaritan eventually led him to a homestead in rural Beitbridge where he tended cattle in exchange for food and paltry coins. But the meagre meals came in the evenings only and fell short of sating an absle- bodied boy's appetite. As his suffering continued, he had thought of the story of the prodigal son, imagining his father welcoming him with hugs and kisses. However, he knew that no such home-coming would await him. What would greet him were whips and lashes and then maybe after weeks of cold civility he would finally be accepted. At his whit's end, he decided to visit his grandmother who lived a few kilometres from her son's homestead. Themba knew without doubt that he would always be welcome there, and had absolute faith in his grandmother's ability of calming her son’s temper. Yes, he would go to MaDube, his grandmother. After amassing enough money for the fare, he had taken a bus to Bulawayo and from there managed to get a truck which was enroute to Nkayi, his hame, A low-lying branch whipped his face bringing him back to the present. Where is the gum tree? Themba was positive that he should have reached it by now. The drizzle had stopped and the cool air had intensified to a cold breezy wind. He should have passed two homesteads before arriving at the tree. Where were the hamesteads? Increasing speed, ‘Themba arrived ata fork. Should he take the left path or the right? He felt certain that he should turn right. The boy’s heart almost skipped a beat when he found himself at a grave yard. It was very dark but there was no mistaking the mounds and the crosses which were placed on three or four of the graves. A shooting star almost cnppled him with dread, as it raced through the sky. A frog rustling in the grass did not help the situation either. It sent shivers of cold sweat running down his brow. He was a man. He should nat be afraid, he told himselt as he tried to calm his petrified nerves, Did he believe in ghosts? Ghosts or no ghosts, a cemetery was not a place to find oneself at night, he reminded himself as he rushed away. ‘An hour later, Themba was still walking. Trees surrounded him and his disoriented mind could not tell north from east, Someone had once told him that when lost he should sit down and try to collect his bearings, but he quickly discarded the advice not seeing how it could help him, Growing weary, a fatigued Themba trudged on. Maybe if he fallowed those electricity lines that were vaguely visible in the dark, he would get home. But were the lines leading to the main road or away fram it? Or were they merely parallel to the road, Tired, discouraged, hungry and thirsty he moved an. His grumbling stomach reminded him that he had not eaten since the previous day. He could hardly call the manga given ta him by the weman on the truck that evening a meal. Numb with cold, his uncovered feet felt foreign to him and rubbing his hands together did not remave the iciness that cut through his digits. He had lost track of the time he had spent walking. Three, maybe four hours. Accepting defeat, he slumped to the ground and rested his back against a nearby tree. Exhaustion took aver and he could have lost himself in a slumber had it not been for the stabbing cold and the void in his stomach. It was going to be a very long night, he reckoned. 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 7015. Ahooting ovd sent Themba jumping in fright. His unsettled heart almost sent him sprinting 75 away when he noticed a light in the distance which reminded him of his stint in the graveyard. However, reasoning got the better of him. Maybe, he reasoned, the light was coming from a homestead. He could go there and seek refuge far the night. 16 For the first time realisation tampered with hope dawned on him. All along he had been sitting under a gum tree. The very tree he had been searching for all those hours. The 80 flickering was fram his grandmather's place. 17 Doubt, desolation and trepidation fled from Themba and an uncontrollable jay set upon him. He was finally home, he thought, as he raced into the yard knacking at the door of the hut nearest to the gate. One thing he was certain af was that he would not be spending the night on an empty stomach. The door creaked open and Themba's face fell as he found 85 himself standing face to face with his father who had chosen that weekend to-come and repair his mather's fence. ‘Comprehension questions Answer all questions in the spaces provided, You are advised to answer them in the order set.
