    The goal of this project was to make, and test four soaps, and two detergents. The purpose of making four different soaps and two detergents was needed in order to decide which one would be best for the environmental group to use in the future that would allow for the safest cleanup of an oil spill while not harming the animals or the environment in the process. It was necessary to test the impact of the four soaps and two detergents by analyzing their different properties based off of their specific characteristics and the wastewater left over from the vacuum filtration procedure. This procedure had to be undertaken in order to confirm which of the soaps and detergents synthesized is most environmentally suitable, and which one would result in the most minimal environmental damage as possible after clean up. Other test that were essential in determining the characteristic and properties of each individual soap and detergent included testing for lather ability, cleaning ability, and solubility. Each soap and detergent was tested for lather ability, solubility and clean- ability, by cleaning dirty lab glass wear by means of mixing a small amount of each soap and detergent in a beaker with water, and creating a lather by the use of a scrub brush. The individual results can be seen in Table 4. The greater the lather, more cleaning ability the soap or detergent was capable of. The test of lather ability was done first by using tap water. The soap will make more bubbles with the soft water than with the hard water, because it reacts with the calcium and magnesium salts to form 'scum', which is insoluble in water when mixed with hard water. This means there is less soap for making bubbles, or for cleaning. The tap water used to test the properties of the soap would most likely be considered hard water more than it would be considered soft which is why the conclusion of the least lather ability meant more cleaning ability. After the…

    Other people might believe that Reconstruction did not successfully solve the problems of slavery and civil war because the first amendment was violated for African Americans and they were also not allowed to intermarry. In section 2 of Black Codes it states,” Any freeman, free negro...seditious speeches (speaking against government)...may be imprisoned.” This shows that African Americans were not allowed the freedom of speech stated in the first amendment. This proves that the reconstruction did not solve the problems of slavery and civil war because they are still not treated fairly. Blacks were still controlled by the whites.…

    Chemistry of Hairspray

    • 1130 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Hair spray (or hair lacquer) is a common household aqueous solution that is used to keep hair stiff or in a certain style. Weaker than hair gel, hair wax, or glue, it is sprayed to hold styles for a short period of time. Using a pump or aerosol spray nozzle it sprays evenly over the hair. Hairspray was first developed and manufactured in 1948 by Chase Products Company, based in Broadview, Illinois.Its active ingredient is a suitable polymer or the chemical elastesse. Elastesse is a form of liquid elastic that keeps the hair stiff and firm without snapping. Pytocalcious, an ingredient in hair spray, lowers the amount of minerals in the hair's root causing the hair to become stiff, or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Excessive use or lack of washing after hair spray may lead to dull or damaged hair. Some hair sprays are scented or have color. Hair spray is an easy way to hold hair styles for a short period of time. Hairsprays belong to a class of personal care products that help hair to hold a desired style. These products contain film forming ingredients that are applied as a fine mist. When dry, these chemicals form tiny glue-like spots that hold the hair shafts together. Hairsprays are formulated as aerosols that are powered by pressurized gasses or non-aerosols that are dispensed by manually depressing a pump.Hair spray is extremely flammable, more so before it is dry. The result of ignition is moderate to serious burns to the hair and upper torso, sometimes resulting in death.…

    Do you think it is important when the narrator tells the story and not someone else? When the narrator tells the story from their point of view, it is better because they were there and they experienced what happened. If someone else told the story, it would be much more different because they didn’t experience it. The story will be more effective from the narrator's point of view.…

    Often, we do not realize just how important our taste and smell senses are to every day life. We go about our day and do the normal human thing. We sleep, eat, shower, get dressed, go to school, work, etc. What if our sense of taste and smell were taken away? How would it change these every day routines? If there were a house fire while we were sleeping and we could not smell the smoke, what would happen? What if we could not taste or smell the food we were eating? What if we could not smell if our bodies were clean when we showered? As a nurse, what if I could not smell a foul odor in regards to urine or fecal matter? So many things would change without taste and smell.…
