The chemistry of hairspray What is hairspray: introduction 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

Chemistry in Photography Background A photograph is an image made by a photo-chemical reaction which records the impression of light on a surface coated with silver atoms. The reaction is possible due to the light-sensitive properties of silver halide crystals. Equation form for silver halides: Ag + + e - Ag Species produced include: Ag2+‚ Ag2o‚ Ag3+‚ Ag3o‚ Ag4+‚ Ag4o In 1556‚ the alchemist Fabricius was the first to discover that light can photochemically react with these crystals to

Environmental Chemistry: Water testing in Bouregreg Valley Nowadays we are more and more concerned of environmental issues and especially the ones about water since experts have remarked that wetland regions are disappearing (50% reduction). Wetland regions are very important because they help preserve different wildlife species and also can be considered important indicators of the health of the “blue planet”. One of the most interesting wetland regions is the Bouregreg one that is close to

Chemistry Coursework – Titration Background Science A titration is the neutralisation of an acid or an alkali. To achieve this‚ one must be added to the other in a specific amount‚ strength and concentration. A substance is neutral when its pH is 7. It is most acidic closer to 0 and is most alkaline closer to 14. 28492453194050 0 7 14 595423979670

The Cold War was a period of hostility‚ fear‚ and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union from the end of the 1940s to late 1980s. Like what Winston Churchill said‚ the world has been divided by the “Iron Curtain” during the Cold War between the Communists and the capitalists. It was called the Cold War because it was only a psychological warfare with no active wars between the two nations‚ which were due to the fear of nuclear arms. The result of the Cold War affected the world
