# Question Ans
41.

Detergents are manufactured with straight hydrocarbon chains, is to make them

A. soluble

B. biodegradable

C. cheaper

D. foamy

Detailed Solution

Biodegradable because the straight hydrocarbons are natural and slightly soluble in water. Options A,C,D do not have strength hydrocarbon chains and they could harm the environment if they are made with the detergent
There is an explanation video available below.
42.

Which of the following results in the fall of acid rain?

A. oxide of lead

B. particulate matter

C. oxides of sulphur

D. gaseous hydrocarbon

Detailed Solution

Oxide of sulphur is formed as a result of acid rain. Options A,B, D are not formed as a result of the pressure of acid
There is an explanation video available below.
43.

The furring of kettles is caused by the presence of what compound in water?

A. calcium tetraoxosulphate (IV)

B. calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (IV)

C. calcium hydroxide

D. calcium trioxocarbonate (IV)

Detailed Solution

Calcium hydrogen carbonate, often present in temporary hard water, is boiled in a kettle to remove the hardness. In the process, a scale forms on the inside of the kettle in a process known as furring of kettles. This scale is composed of calcium carbonate.

44.

A difference between chemical and physical change is that in a chemical change

A. oxygen is consumed

B. heat is supplied

C. the reversible process occurs

D. a new substance is formed

Detailed Solution
