An antioxidant which is added to butter to increase its shelf life from months to years is
A
sodium benzoate
B
butylated hydroxy anisole
C
sulphur dioxide
D
all of these
Answer :
butylated hydroxy anisole
The addition of $$BHA$$ to butter increases its storage life from months to years because oxygen reacts preferentially with $$BHA$$ rather than oxidising fats or oils, thereby protecting them from spoilage.

48.
Which one of the following statements regarding photochemical smog is not correct?
A
Carbon monoxide does not play any role in photochemical smog formation
B
Photochemical smog is an oxidising agent in character
C
Photochemical smog is formed through photochemical reaction involving solar energy
D
Photochemical smog does not cause irritation in eyes and throat
Answer :
Photochemical smog does not cause irritation in eyes and throat
Photochemical smog is formed in warm and sunny climate during day time by the action of sunlight on primary pollutants. It contains nitrogen oxides, ozone, $$PAN,$$ etc., which are oxidising in nature. So, photochemical smog is an oxidising agent in character. It causes irritation in eyes and throat.
