Among the given compounds, ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane 1, 2 diol) having chemical formula HOCH\u2082CH\u2082OH is used as an anti-freeze for the automobile engine. It is used in automobile engines to remove waste heat. Pure ethylene glycol freezes at about -12\u00b0C but when mixed with water, the mixture does not readily crystallise and therefore, the freezing point of the mixture is depressed is used to achieve freezing point for cold environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Which_one_of_the_following_sets_of_elements_was_primarily_responsible_for_the_origin_of_life_on_the_Earth_2012\"><\/span>Q3.

(d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exp. All statements (1), (2) and (3) are correct. Steel slag can be the material for construction of as road, improvement of agricultural soil and production of cement. Steel slag is by-product of steel making. It is produced during the separation of the molten steel from impurities in steel-making furnaces. Slag is very hard and resistant to both weather and wear. It is widely used in road construction. Application of slag in soil favors the increase of pH and the availability of nutrients such as Ca, Mg, and Si in the soil, which leads to the increase in the absorption of these elements by the plant, favoring the growth and yield of the crops. Steel-slag can be used to produce energy-saving cement by co-grinding with OPC clinker and blast furnace slag. It can replace Portland cement in various applications and is especially suitable for projects where a low heat of hydration is required<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Q8_Triclosan_considered_harmful_when_exposed_to_high_Beer_levels_for_a_long_time_is_most_likely_present_in_which_of_the_following_2021\"><\/span>&#8216;Q8.
