Which of the following compounds is commonly used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes and toothpastes? (1) Borax (2) Saltpetre (3) Hydrogen peroxide (4) Sodium chloride

1 Answer

Answer :

(4) Sodium chloride Explanation: Antiseptics are antimicrobial substances that are applied to living tissue/skin to reduce the possibility of infection, sepsis, or putrefaction. Antiseptics are generally distinguished from antibiotics by the latter's ability to be transported through the lymphatic system to destroy bacteria within the body, and from disinfectants, which destroy microorganisms found on non-living objects.
