Can you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water?
Soaps get precipitated as insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps in hard water but detergents do not. Therefore, soaps but not synthetic detergents can be used to check the hardness of water.

(ii)(C17H32COO)3C3H5-Glyceryl oleate
Which of the following are not used as food preservatives?
