Question
Define the following:
  1. Anionic detergents.
  2. Narrow spectrum antibiotics.
  3. Antacids.

Answer

  1. Anionic detergents are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons / alkylbenzene sulphonate or detergents whose anionic part is involved in cleansing action.
  2. Narrow spectrum antibiotics-which are effective against either gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
  3. Chemical compounds which are used for the treatment of excess acid produced in the stomach.
