Answer 2

Explanation:

• Milkman as a small amount of banking soda to fresh milk to keep the milk unspoiled for a much longer time.
• Baking soda is basic in nature.
• This makes the milk basic.
• When the milk is kept in open , certain bacterias act inside the milk to make the milk acidic.
• But due to the addition of baking soda, the acid produced by bacterias gets neutralized and this prevents the milk from setting as curd.
• And so it takes a longer time for the milk to set as curd .
• This also helps the milk to remain unspoiled for a very longer time.
