(i) To neutralize sting of wasps
(ii) In alkaline batteries
(iii) Manufacturing of soap

Question

Verified by Toppr

Answer 1

1. Formic acid is produced by ants and acetic acid is used as anti-wasp agents.
2. In alkali batteries a base is used as an electrolyte which gives hydroxyl ions in solution.
3. Manufacturing of soap requires an alkali like $N a O H$ and long chain of fatty acids like sodium stearate to form an ester or sodium acetate salt.
