Questions on Chemistry in Everyday Life

Ques: What is the reason for not using fatty acid containing less than eight carbon atoms in the preparation of a soap?

1. Insoluble in water
2. Forms emulsion with grease
3. Forms colloidal solution with water
4. Doesn’t form an emulsion with grease

Correct Option: D

Solution: Soap possesses a carboxylic acid chain through which hydrocarbons and sodium-potassium ions are attached and therefore, it has a tadpole-like structure. Though ions dissolve in water and non-ionic carbon chain dissolves in oil to form an emulsion. It is required that a non-ionic chain must have more than 8 carbon atoms to form an emulsion.

Ques: What is the surface tension of water when soap and detergent are added to water?

1. Increased by soap and detergent
2. Reduced by soap and detergent
3. Reduced by detergent and increased by soap
4. Reduced by soap and increased by detergent

Correct Option: B

Solution: When soap and detergent are both added to the water, then the ionic part of them attracts grease and repels water molecules. Therefore, hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules become weak and the surface tension of soap and detergent is reduced.

Ques: What is the main cause of acidity in the stomach?
