LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, September 27 /PRNewswire/ --     So you try to get your greasy chicken fingers clean without soap - only
water - and it does not seem to help much. The water either bubbles or rolls
off the oil and your fingers stay greasy. This is because water has a special
characteristic: its surface tension. Our Chemical Reporter explains how soap
can help. In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions on Chemistry in our everyday life.
