Answer:
A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.
B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.
Explanation:
A. Hard water contains <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.
B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.
C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.
First, we have to see how K2O behaves when it is dissolved in water:
K2O + H20 = 2 KOH
According to reaction K2O has base properties, so it forms a hydroxide in water.
For the reaction next relation follows:
c(KOH) : c(K2O) = 1 : 2
So,
c(KOH)= 2 x c(K2O)= 2 x 0.005 = 0.01 M = c(OH⁻)
Now we can calculate pH:
pOH= -log c(OH⁻) = -log 0.01 = 2
pH= 14-2 = 12
Answer: The correct answer is option B.
Explanation: Reactivity of elements is defined as the tendency to loose or gain electrons.
These reactions are a type of single displacement reactions. A single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which an element displaces another element in a chemical reaction. These are studied with the help of reactivity series.
The element which lies above in the reactivity series can easily displace the element which lies below in the reactivity series.
Option A: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Zinc lies below Aluminium in the reactivity series.

Option B: This reaction will yield a stable product because Sodium lies above Calcium in the reactivity series.

Option C: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Hydrogen lies below Magnesium in the reactivity series.

Option D: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Calcium lies below Barium in the reactivity series.

Option E: This reaction will not yield a stable product because barium lies below Lithium in the reactivity series.
