(i) Bithinol is added to soap to reduce the odour produced by bacterial decomposition of         organic matter on the skin.

(ii) Mg(OH)_{2} is a better antacid than sodium bicarbonate because, it is insolute and       does not increase the P^{H} above neutrality.

(iii) Soaps are biodegradable whereas detergents are non bio-degradable, because          detergents have generally highly branched hydrocarbon chains. the side chain stops      bacteria from attacking breaking the chains, hence, they are non- biodegradable while       in soaps, it is not the case.
