उत्तर
- The formula for carbon tetrachloride is CCl4.

- When an ester is treated with an alkali, it gives alcohol and sodium ethanoate (sodium salt of carboxylic acid).
\[\ce{CH3COOC2H5 \overset{NaOH}{->}C2H5OH + CH3COONa}\]
This reaction is known as saponification because it is used in the preparation of soap.

Both soap and detergent are some type of salts. What is the difference between them?
A student takes about 4 ml of distilled water in four test tubes marked P, Q, R and S. He then dissolves in each test tube an equal amount of one salt in one test tube, namely sodium sulphate in P, potassium sulphate in Q, calcium sulphate in R and magnesium sulphate in S. After that he adds an equal amount of soap solution in each test tube. On shaking each of these test tubes well, he observes a good amount of lather (foam) in the test tube marked
(A) P and Q
(B) Q and R
(C) P, Q and S
(D) P, R and S
