29.

If water contains dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate (or Ca^(2+) ions), out of soaps and synthetic detergents , which one will you use for cleaning clothes ?

Answer»

Solution :WATER CONTAINING calcium hydrogen carbonate is hard water. DETERGENTS are preferred over soaps for cleaning clothes in hard water because calcium salts of detergents are soluble in water while calcium salts of soaps are insoluble . As a result, lot of soap is wasted.
30.

If water contains dissolved calcium bicarbonate, out of soaps and synthetic detergents which one will you use for cleaning clothes ?

Answer»

Solution :Calcium BICARBONATE makes water hard. Soap will give precipitate with this hard water and therefore, cannot be used for cleaning CLOTHES. On the other hand, a synthetic detergent does not give precipitate in hard water because its calcium SALT is also SOUBLE in water. Therefore, synthetic detergent can be used for cleaning clothes in hard water.
