8. In the manufacture of glass, sodium carbonate is added to sand to:

  1. Reduce its melting point
  2. Prevent glass from dissolving in water
  3. Give it greater durability
  4. Reduce viscosity

Ans.: 1. Reduce its melting point

Explanation: By adding sodium carbonate, the melting point of the sand is reduced so it can be transformed into glass at low temperatures and conserve energy during manufacturing.

9. Acid phosphatase is ____, secreted by prostate gland into seminal fluid.

  1. Lipids
  2. Enzyme
  3. Carbohydrate
  4. Antigen

Ans.: 2. Enzyme
