Take MCQ Chemistry Test

1.
Name the antioxidant commonly used to increase the storage life of fats and oils.
2.
Explain why chloroform is not used as an anaesthetic.
3.
A water sample contains (CaHCO3)2 What will you choose soap or detergents for cleaning clothes.
4.
What is Condensation polymerisation?
5.
Write the preparation of Teflon and Give its use.
6.
Define polymerisation.
7.
Detergents are superior to soaps - Justify.
8.
What are sugar substituents? Give two examples.
9.
What are food additives?
10.
Name one substance which can act as both analgesic and antipyretic.
11.
What are antibiotics?
12.
Which chemical is responsible for the antiseptic properties of dettol.
13.
What are food preservatives?
14.
How do antiseptics differ from disinfectants?
15.
Write a note on synthetic detergents
1.
BHA (Butylated Hydroxy Anisole)
2.
With oxygen it forms a toxic carbonyl chloride Hence it is not used an an anaesthetic.
3.
Detergents are more preferred since calcium ion forms scum with hard water.
4.
Condensation polymers are formed by the reaction between functional groups of an adjacent monomers with the elimination of simple molecules like H2O, NH3 etc....
5.
The monomer is tetrafluroethylene. When the monomer is heated with oxygen (or) ammonium persulphate under high pressure, Teflon is obtained.
6.
The process of forming a very large, high molecular mass polymer from small structural units i.e., monomer is called polymerisation.
7.
Detergents are superior to soaps as they can be used even in hard water and in acidic conditions. The cleansing action of detergents are similar to the cleansing action of soaps.
8.
Those compounds that are used like sugars (glucose, sucrose) for sweetening, but are metabolised without the influence of insulin are called sugar substituents. Eg. Sorbitol, Xylitol, Mannitol.
9.
The substances which are not naturally a part of the food and added to improve the quality of food are called food additives.
10.
Aspirin (o - acetyl salicylic acid) - is a substance which lowers body temperature and also reduces body pain. So it acts as both analgesic and antiphyretic.
11.
(i) Many micro organisms (bacteria, fungi and moulds) produce certain chemicals which inhibit the growth or metabolism of some other micro organism. Such chemicals are called antibiotics.
(ii) Eg: Penicillin from the mould penicillium notatum
12.
Dettol is a mixture of chloroxylenol and terpineol which imparts antiseptic properties to it.
13.
(i) Preservatives are chemicals added to food which are capable of inhibiting, retarding or arresting the process of fermentation, acidification or other decomposition of food by the growth of micro organisms (or)
(ii) Chemical substances which are added to food that prevents the spoilage of food materials by destroying the food - spoiling micro-organisms are called food preservatives.
(iii) Eg: sodium benzoate, NaCl, Acetic acid Sodium metabisulphite, potassium meta bisulphite etc.
14.
| S.No | Antiseptics | Disinfectants |
| 1. | Antiseptics are medicines applied to living tissues (living humans). | Disinfectants are applied to inanimated objects. |
| 2. | All the antiseptics are disinfectants. | All the disinfectants are not antiseptics. |
| 3. | They are not ingested or swallowed. Eg: Povidone - iodine. |
They can be injected or swallowed. Eg :Hydrogen peroxide, Chlorine compounds |
15.
Detergents:
a) Anionic detergents:
These are sodium salt of sulphonated long chain alcohols (or) hydrocarbons. The anionic part of the molecule is involved in the cleansing action.
Eg: sodium lawryl sulphate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate.
Use: Household work & tooth paste.
b) Cationie detergents:
These are quarternary. ammonium salts of amines with acetates, chlorides (or) bromides as anions.
It is the cationic part of the molecule which is involved in cleansing action.
Eg: n-hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride
c) Non-ionic detergents:
These donot contain any ion. These are esters of high molecular mass alcohols.
Eg: Pentaerythrityl stearate
Use dish washing detergents.
| Detergent Type | Example |
| Anionic detergent | Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) |
| Cationic detergent | N - hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride N,N,N - trimethylhexadecan - 1 - aminium chloride |
| Non - ionic detergent | Pentaerythrityl stearate 3 - hydroxy -2,2 - bis (hydroxymethyl) propyl heptanoate |
