MOST IMPORTANT general science mcq - 2 EXERCISES
The following question based on inorganic chemistry topic of general science mcq
Hard water does not give lather with soap because hard water contains:
- calcium bicarbonate
- magnesium bicarbonate
- chlorides of calcium and magnesium
- sulphates of calcium and magnesium
(a) 1, 2 and 3
(b) 3 and 4
(c) 1 and 2
(d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Since hard water contains soluble chloride and sulphate salts of calcium and magnesium it forms an insoluble curdy precipitate with soap.
${2C_{17}H_{35}COONa} ↙\text"soluble sodium stearate (soap)" + {CaCl_2} ↙\text"calcium chloride (in hard water)" → {(C_{17}H_{35}COO)_2} ↙\text"insoluble calcium stearate" Ca + 2NaCl$
${2C_{17}H_{35}COONa} ↙\text"soluble sodium stearate" + {MgSO_4} ↙\text"Magnesium chloride (in hard water)" → {(C_{17}H_{35}COO)_2 } ↙\text"insoluble magnesium stearate (soap) " Mg + Na_2SO_4$

a) 1, 2 and 4
b) 1, 3 and 4
c) 1, 2 and 3
d) 2, 3 and 4
Answer »Answer: (a)
