| Sep 1, 2017 at 14:28 | comment | added | Mithoron | If it was reposting then situation would be obvious, if it was asking about the same problem then still one of questions should be closed (think Occam's Razor), but this case seems tricky. | |
| Sep 1, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | Sam | @Mithoron Let me express a well-meant criticism: If a question superficially looks like a duplicate, you should still take the time to check whether it is actually a simple duplicate of a lazy questioner, or whether it is a re-issue of an unanswered problem. I hope, that you can agree with this. | |

| Sep 1, 2017 at 13:15 | comment | added | Sam | @Mithoron Although this is a duplicate of the given question, it would be very useful not to close this question. The thread 'Hard' soap vs 'Soft' soap: Why do they work this way? was already answered and has been marked as solved, even though the given answer is not meaningful. With my question I want to go into the phenomenon more closely. By your mark, other chemists can no longer answer and so the question will not be solved again. | |

| Aug 31, 2017 at 23:01 | comment | added | Karl | Well, most fats are wild mixtures of glycol triesters, so after saponification you have a dozen or so different carboxylate salts in your pot. | |
| Aug 31, 2017 at 22:07 | comment | added | Sam | @Karl I thought so myself, that's why I reposted the question and am also asking for a better and more detailed answer. Could you explain, what you mean be crude mixture? | |
| Aug 31, 2017 at 21:41 | comment | added | Karl | The answer to that older question is total nonsense. Reactivity of the metal has nothing to do with the physical properties of the finished product. Afaik the reason is mostly that potassium soaps are rather crude mixtures, and further the slightly larger ion seems to not fit well into any viable crystal structure of the carboxylate salt. | |
