Hydroxide of which alkali metal is used in the manufacture of soft soap?
- A Caesium
- B Sodium
- C Potassium
- D Lithium
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Potassium
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Soft soap can be manufactured with potassium hydroxide (caustic potash) as the alkali. Potassium soaps are more soluble in water than sodium soaps; in concentrated form, they are called soft soap. Although soft soaps are declining in importance, potassium soap is still produced in various liquid concentrations.
