Which one of the following statements is incorrect about soaps?

Soaps cannot be used in acidic conditions because they lose their cleansing effect due to the formation of insoluble long-chain fatty acids. The pH of these fatty acids is less than 7, which is not good for clothes.

Which one of the following statement is incorrect about Catalyst?

A catalyst does not affect the energies of reactants and products of the reaction and hence, the energies are same for both catalyzed and non-catalyzed reactions.

Why is nacl added in saponification?

Why is common salt added after the process of saponification? When we add salt which is sodium chloride, it gets ionised in water and the sodium ions causes the sodium ions of soap to combine with the fatty acid ions and separate as solid soap. This helps in complete removal of soap from the reaction mixture.

Does adding a catalyst change the equilibrium constant?

Equilibrium constants are not changed if you add (or change) a catalyst. The only thing that changes an equilibrium constant is a change of temperature. The position of equilibrium is not changed if you add (or change) a catalyst. A catalyst speeds up both the forward and back reactions by exactly the same amount.

Which of the following is incorrect regarding Physisorption?

The enthalpy of adsorption is low and negative in polarity. The value varies between -20 to -40 kJ/mol. From the above statements, we can conclude that the incorrect statement from the given options is enthalpy of adsorption is low and positive. Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).
