Which of the following is added to soaps to impart antiseptic properties?
- A Iodine
- B Furacine
- C Bithional
- D Terpineol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Bithional
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids. To impart antiseptic properties to soaps, certain chemicals are added. Bithional, also known as bithionol, is a chemical compound added to soaps to reduce the odor produced by bacterial decomposition of organic…
