Sodium \So"di*um\, n.

Sodium is used combined in many salts, in the free       state as a reducer, and as a means of obtaining other metals       (as magnesium and aluminium) is an important commercial       product.

It is found in many mineral springs and             also produced artificially,. It is used in cookery, in             baking powders, and as a source of carbonic acid gas             (carbon dioxide) for soda water.

Soap \Soap\, n. [OE. sope, AS. s[be]pe; akin to D. zeep, G.       seife, OHG. seifa, Icel. s[be]pa, Sw. s[?]pa, Dan. s[?]be,       and perhaps to AS. s[c6]pan to drip, MHG. s[c6]fen, and L.       sebum tallow. Cf. {Saponaceous}.]       A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,       and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt. The first of these takes away the fatty                         dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap                         lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus                         tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &                                                                               Schorlemmer.          {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,             made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles,             [or] Venetian, soap}.          {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of             different ingredients and color, which are hard and             compact.

See under {Marine}.          {Pills of soap} (Med.), pills containing soap and opium.          {Potash soap}, any soap made with potash, esp. the soft             soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil.          {Pumice soap}, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as             silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc., which assists             mechanically in the removal of dirt.          {Resin soap}, a yellow soap containing resin, -- used in             bleaching.          {Silicated soap}, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium             silicate).          {Soap bark}. (Bot.) See {Quillaia bark}.          {Soap bubble}, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a             film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something             attractive, but extremely unsubstantial.                         This soap bubble of the metaphysicians. --J. C.                                                                               Shairp.          {Soap cerate}, a cerate formed of soap, olive oil, white wax,             and the subacetate of lead, sometimes used as an             application to allay inflammation.          {Soap fat}, the refuse fat of kitchens, slaughter houses,             etc., used in making soap.          {Soap liniment} (Med.), a liniment containing soap, camphor,             and alcohol.          {Soap nut}, the hard kernel or seed of the fruit of the             soapberry tree, -- used for making beads, buttons, etc.          {Soap plant} (Bot.), one of several plants used in the place             of soap, as the {Chlorogalum pomeridianum}, a California             plant, the bulb of which, when stripped of its husk and             rubbed on wet clothes, makes a thick lather, and smells             not unlike new brown soap. It is called also {soap apple},             {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}.          {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}.          {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps             are all hard soaps.          {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and             of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the             lye from wood ashes.
