Statements for the linked answer questions 14-17

Cleaning agents include soaps and detergents. Because most dirt is oily in nature, it does not dissolve
in water. Soaps are long chain carboxylic acid sodium or potassium salts. Water dissolves the
hydrophilic end, while oil dissolves the hydrophobic end. As a result, the soap molecules form micelles,
which are attracted by both dirt and water. When washing clothes in hard water, some of the soap
precipitates and sticks to the fabric as scum. Detergents are used to avoid this problem.

Q-14: Name the three fatty acids whose sodium or potassium salts are present in soap.
Q-15: What is scum? How is it formed?
Q-16: Why does hard water not produce foam easily with soap?.
Q-17: A soft water sample can be distinguished from hard water using
a) a detergent solution
b) sodium bicarbonate solution
c) Red litmus solution
d) soap solution

Q-18: Match the column I with column II

Q-19: a) Define the term isomer.
b) Two compounds have the same molecular formula C3H6O. Write the names of these compounds and
their structural formula.

Q-20: Based on the diagram below, answer the following questions:

a)What changes do you notice in tube B's calcium hydroxide solution?
b) What are the results of the reactions in test tubes A and B?
c) Would you expect the same effect if ethanol instead of ethanoic acid was used?
d) How do you make a laboratory solution of lime water?
