Q34 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2023 (18 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

Identify the correct statement from the following

  • A
    Unbranched hydrocarbon detergents are nonbiodegradable
  • Correct answer
    B
    Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide is used in hair conditioners
  • C
    Liquid dish washing detergents are anionic type
  • D
    Synthetic detergents cannot be used in hard water

Solution

Unbranched hydrocarbon detergents are easily biodegraded. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide is a cationic detergent and is used in hair conditioner. Liquid dishwashing detergents are of non-ionic type. Synthetic detergents can be used in both, soft and hard water.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
