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.
Explain the work of phenophthaline and litmus paper?
It is an acid - base indicator. Often used in titrations, it turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.. litmus paper color... Red in acidic solution n blue in alkaline solution
What is the name for chemical compound NaHO2AlOCO?
There is actually not a specific name for the chemical compound NaHO2AlOCO. This compound is often used as a pesticide or in household products.
How is shampoo different from soap?
Soap is a triacylglyceride derviative (fat) while detergents are often produced synthetically. The head-group of soap a molecule is usually a carboxylate anion while common detergents often use phosphate or sulfate head-groups (ie Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Soap's effectiveness is greatly affected by the presence of certain minerals in solution such as those typically associated with hard water. Detergents are usually not affected by minerals in solution. The downside to detergents is the fact that most of them are not biodegradable; although some can be chemically modified to allow for degradation by microorganisms usually by the addition of a branched methyl group).
What are harmful effects of soaps and detergents?
Soaps are made from natural fats and oils and so are fully biodegradable. Detergents on the other hand are made from synthetic chemicals. These chemicals do not break down in the environment, and so they cause huge amount of pollution in our water ways- killing fish and water plants. This is due to the fact that detergents often contain phospahte salts that excelerate the growth of algae that deplete the oxygen content of the water. Detergents are often preferred over soap as they are more effective at cleaning and have a wider range of uses.

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.

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?
Alumina is a synthetically produced aluminum oxide, AL2O3. Its chemical compound consists of bauxite which is a combination of minerals found in aluminum oxides. Alumina is often used in smelting aluminum.
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?
No, 'often' is not a compound word. It is a single word.
