Is soap a acid alkali or a neutral?
Soap is a saponified fat made of a caustic such as lye and an oil or fat. There is often an excess of caustic often with a pH of up to 10. Many "soaps" on the market are actually detergents which is a different type of compounds as sodium lauryl sulfate) l though the cleansing face is similar. The pH of detergents is acidic.

Is ethanol a glycoside?
The term 'glycoside' commonly refers to an organic compound with a sugar moiety attached (often it is used where the compound can also be found occurring naturally without the sugar - known as the aglycone). Ethanol is a short chain hydrocarbon alcohol, and contains no such sugar, therefore the answer is no. Best wishes, Fraser.

How can anodised metal be cleaned?
Only aluminum is anodized. The anodizing process creates a layer of aluminum compound that is very hard, and is often colored. Since it is a thin layer, only detergents and very fine powdered cleansers like Bon Ami should be used.
What element is present in organic compound but cannot be found in inorganic compounds?
Carbon. That is why organic chemistry is often called carbon chemistry.
How do you neutralize detergents from domestic grey water?
You get a water purifier or a softener. (A water softener wont "neutralize detergents from domestic grey water." Indeed, a softener will do the exact opposite since hard water neutralizes many types of detergents.) Depends on what you mean by "neutralize". If you mean make the detergent no longer function as a detergent, then depending on the type of detergent there are a couple ways. Most detergents are the conjugate base of an acid. Acidifying the solution neutralizes the base and generally significantly reduces the ability of the detergent to act as a detergent. So, simply adding acid will often "neutralize" detergents. Large amounts of vinegar, or much smaller amounts of a strong concentrated acid, can be used. Another method of neutralizing detergents is by the addition of divalent cations such as calcium++ or magnesium++. Many detergents strongly bind to these salts and, like adding acid, the resulting compound no longer acts as an effective detergent. This is why most detergents work better in "soft" water than they do in "hard" water. Hard water contains enough divalent cations to tie up the detergents molecules making the detergent must less effective.
What element in fertilizers and some detergents contributes to water pollution and growth of algae and water weeds?
Inorganic Fertilizers often contain nitrogen, which can cause eutrophication in bodies of water. Detergents containing phosphates are extremely harmful.
What is the chemical compound of Alumina?

Where can you buy litmus paper?
Litmus paper is used to test how acidic or basic a material is. Because gardeners often want to test the acidity of their soil, you can buy litmus paper in many gardening shops. Of course, it is also available in places that sell science supplies, and readily available from vendors on the internet.
Is the word 'often' a compound word?
