Match the following: 1. Calcium hydroxide 2. Sodium hydroxide 3. Magnesium hydroxide 4. Potassium hydroxide with options a. KO4, b. NaO4, c. Ca(O4)2, d. Mg(OH)2, i. lime, ii. Caustic soda, iii. Caustic Potash, iv. Milk of magnesium.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match various substances (hydroxides) with their corresponding names. Each hydroxide needs to be linked to the correct identifier from the given options.
Answer
1-i, 2-ii, 3-iv, 4-iii.
- Calcium hydroxide - i. lime, 2. Sodium hydroxide - ii. Caustic soda, 3. Magnesium hydroxide - iv. Milk of magnesium, 4. Potassium hydroxide - iii. Caustic Potash.
Answer for screen readers
- Calcium hydroxide - i. lime, 2. Sodium hydroxide - ii. Caustic soda, 3. Magnesium hydroxide - iv. Milk of magnesium, 4. Potassium hydroxide - iii. Caustic Potash.
More Information
Calcium hydroxide is known as lime, sodium hydroxide as caustic soda, magnesium hydroxide as milk of magnesium, and potassium hydroxide as caustic potash.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing similar-sounding names such as lime and limestone; ensure to verify the chemical formula and context.
