Bleach And Synthesis
This experiment investigated the effects of bleach and dye on the tensile strength of hair. The hypothesis stated that the healthy, untouched hair would be able to hold the heaviest amount of weight. The dyed hair would hold more weight than the bleached hair, but less than the normal hair. The bleached hair would be the weakest, holding the least amount of weight. The results supported this hypothesis. This is because the strong chemicals that were applied to the hair, penetrated, stripped and changed the hair’s natural composition. This in the end weakened the hair, giving the results that were found. This experiment could be improved in many ways for more accurate results, such as using a smaller weight like rice and measuring the tape and

    Sodium Bleach Research Paper

    Sodium hypochlorite, also known as chlorine bleach, soda bleach, or household bleach is a chemical with the formula NaClO. A common way sodium hypochlorite gets into the San Francisco bay is through daily household cleaning products such as laundry bleach. In a survey conducted by The Clorox Company, it was found that four out of five households use sodium hypochlorite bleach for their laundry. Since laundry detergent companies are not required to list every ingredient, customers are often not aware that they are purchasing harmful chemicals. When the run off from used laundry water gets into the bay, it becomes filled with toxic chemical pollutants such as sodium hypochlorite. The bay water is the primary water source for bay plants. If the water they are receiving contains Sodium Hypochlorite, this could affect the plant’s growth. Water treatment plants use industrial strength sodium hypochlorite. Although the water treatment facilities try to remove it from the water before it gets released back into nature, the data from Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge found that there is still an average of .6 to…

    Garrett Morgan: a Biography

    In 1909, Morgan opened a tailoring shop, selling coats, suits and dresses. While working in this shop he came upon a discovery which brought about his first invention. He noticed that the needle of a sewing machine moved with such a high speed that often its friction would scorch the thread of woolen materials. He then set out to develop a liquid that would be a useful polish to the needle, reducing friction. Once, when his wife called him to dinner, he wiped the liquid from his hands onto a piece of pony-fur cloth. When he returned to his workshop, he saw that the fibers on the cloth were now standing straight. He conceived that the fluid had actually straightened the fibers. In order to confirm his theory, he decided to apply some of the fluid to the hair of a neighbor's dog. The fluid straightened the dog's hair so much, that the neighbor, not recognizing his own pet, chased the animal away. Morgan then decided try the fluid on himself, trying small portions of his hair at first, and eventually his entire head. He was successful and had invented the first human-hair straightener. This invention has helped a…

    What Do You Call An Intelligent Blonde? A Golden Retriever?

    According to scientists, the population of blondes is declared to be 1.8 to 2 %, therefore, not much natural blondes can be found among us. In addition, the outcomes of the World Health Organization research team indicates: “There are too few people carrying the blonde gene for the hair colour to continue down the generations.” As a result, people with blonde eyebrows, blonde hair and blue eyes are expected to vanish within 200 years. Blond hair is a recessive physical characteristic and therefore somewhat more infrequent than brown or black hair. The recessive genes that cause the hereditary characteristics of blond hair are rapidly becoming diluted. Based on previous facts, it could be declared, that the twilight of blondes is coming gradually, however, the research is insufficient.…

    Expert Hair Testimony

    I have here the lab results depicting the crime scene. The trace evidence (small but measurable amounts of physical or biological material found at a crime scene) found at the crime scene was the killers hair, and the victim’s own hair to exclude any hair samples found similar to the victim. There are three suspect and one sample hair found at the scene of the crime. After analyzing the crime scene hair we found that the hair was light brown, transparent and have no medulla, (the central core of a hair fiber) with an imbricate (cuticles scales that are flattened and narrow) cuticle (the tough outer covering of a hair composed of overlapping scales). When analyzing the hair follicles (the actively growing root or base of a hair containing DNA and living cells), you can go at it two ways macroscopically (in a such a way as to be large enough to be visible to the naked eye; in a way which is comprehensive or is concerned with large units) and microscopically (Too small to be seen by the unaided eye but large enough to be studied under a microscope). When analyzing the hair macroscopically you should look at the length, color, sheen, whether it’s wavy or straight, and the presence or absence of follicle tissue or…

    Microscopic Hair Analysis

    Another source discussing hair analysis, emphasizes the problem with the presentation stage in expert witness testimony in court (3). Not only has contamination been a reason for false convictions (1), but also the ways in which the testimony from the hair analysts is worded (3). Investigations of how the phrasing and wording of expert witness testimony impacts the final court decision have been done, revealing the misuse of words in court have contributed to wrongful convictions, which have created the view of unreliability to the science of hair analysis (3). Forensic scientists undergo much stress when entering the courtroom (3), leading to forensic scientists exaggerating the worth of the hair evidence in testimony the hair evidence in…

There are certain characteristics or traits to look for when analyzing macroscopically or microscopically. When analyzing the hair macroscopically you should look at the length, color, sheen, whether it’s wavy or straight, and the presence or absence of follicle tissue or not. Also you should try to determine the body location the hair came from. When analyzing hair microscopically you need to determine if it’s animal, vegetable, or synthetic in origin.…

    The Chemistry of Hair Coloring: What Are the Effects of Hair Color on Synthetic Hair?

    The first thing that comes to mind when people see hair color is “beauty.” But, what most do not realize is that chemistry plays a major role in many everyday products. What makes the colors so pretty and attractive? How can hair color effect synthetic hair? The question I want to answer is “what are the effects of hair color on synthetic hair?” I chose this topic because I wanted to learn how to color hair and apply it to chemistry. Hair coloring is a form of organic and inorganic chemistry. Organic chemistry involves carbon, whereas inorganic chemistry does not. Hair color is (or can be) a permanent chemical that is used to put a specific color in hair for vanity, or any other cause. There are various types of hair color such as: permanent, semi- permanent, rinses, and bleaches. Schuller is also known as the founder of L’Oreal, the world’s leading country in cosmetics and beauty. But, even before then, people have been coloring their hair for centuries. Many things that were used as medium were plants and minerals that have contained henna (temporary), and black walnut shells. Also, many of these techniques are used in modern-day salons. Such techniques include adding foil in the hair for a better outcome. My hypothesis is that if I apply hair color to two kinds of synthetic hair (Milky Way: Shake n’ Go, Sample A and Express Lock Sleek, Sample B), then there will be a better outcome on Sample B.…

    Lab Report on Paper Towels

    For the first experiment we did the test for strength. We used a 600 mL beaker which we placed the sample paper towel over the opening of the beaker. The size of the sample towel was .234 m2. The paper towel was held it in place with a standard rubber band that was wrapped around the top of the beaker one time. We then took 5 mL of water and poured onto the paper towel. The weights that we used were 27 g each. The weights were placed on the paper towel one weight at a time until the paper towel ripped. The total amount of weight that it took to rip the paper towel was recorded. The process was then repeated for the second brand of paper towel.…
