CHEM 120 Discussion Acid and Bases| Chamberlain College of Nursing
Document Content and Description Below
While we often do not realize it, acidic and basic solutions are a part of our daily lives. I would like each of us to go home and pick a solution in your home, work, or even outside (be sure to che... ck the label to make sure that whatever you are measuring is nonhazardous and water based). Some possible solutions are shampoos, beverages, still water in your backyard, contact solution, ect. Before moving on, post your predictions and why you believe your solution to be acidic or basic. Depending on your instructor, you will then post on one of the following: If I have provided each of you with a strip of pH paper, perform your experiment by using your pH paper to measure the pH of your solution. After you have performed your experiment, report your findings back to the group and be sure to classify your example as an acidic or basic solution as well as what compound or compounds in your solution you believe cause the solution to be basic or acidic and why. If you were not provided with pH strip, look online to determine if your solution is acidic or basic. Explain what compound or compounds in your solution you believe cause the solution to be basic or acidic and why? Make sure to post at least three high quality posts. Your instructor will open new topics of discussion throughout the week. Solution used was: Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo ( Aloe/ Sweet Clover/ Rose) Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo is an acidic solution with a pH of 5 from the pH strip given in class Active ingredients: Water (Aqua),Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-2 Cocamide, Fragrance(Parfum), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Melilotus Officinalis Extract, PEG-150 Distearate, Most shampoo products are made to be acidic to help prevent bacteria and fungi from growing on your scalp. The acid is used to help clean the hair. This shampoo is considered slightly acidic, if the shampoo was more acidic it could cause damage to the hair and scalp. All of the ingredients listed above are combined to provide a good balanced solution. I think the Citric Acid, Leaf Juice, fragrance and the glycerin all play a part in making this shampoo a slightly acidic solution. ReplyReply to Com [Show More]
