What does mean to say that water is a poor wetting agent?
Water (pure) has a high surface tension; which means that water tries to stick to itself ... and does a pretty good job of it. "Wetting agents" act by lowering the surface tension of water.
Wetting agent that interferes with hydrogen bonding in water?
surfactant
How do wetting agents work?
Wetting agents work by breaking the surface tension of water - making water (as the dispersant) adehere to the surface of the leaves. Normally any soap or detegent can be used as a wetting agent.
Suspensions can be wetted before adding water by using a wetting agent or a?
surfactant
How do you make wetting agent?
Wetting agent is basically a detergent. It breaks the surface tension of water, and is usually the last treatment a film receives before being hung to dry. The wetting agent causes the final rinse to "sheet" off the film, allowing it to dry without water spots. Water spots can cause all sorts of grief, and usually once the film has dried the water spots cannot be removed, even by rewashing, so it's best to prevent them. A film squeegee may be used to speed drying with or without wetting agent, but many workers do not like to touch wet film with anything other than wet fingers.
Conclusion to which brand of detergent soap will produce the most bubbles?
It depends a lot on the water...hard water will produce less bubbles...probably distilled water would produce the most bubbles...referencing the brand...it is rather subjective...pure wetting agents would be the best bet...reference Kodak brand wetting agent....if it is still available...pure, and used to sheet off water from film after processing...in a highly dilute form. Kodaks brand of wetting agent is Photoflow, or Photoflo.
What happens to film if the photo flow is not used?
If you squeegee the water off really well, nothing happens. Photo-flo is a wetting agent; it causes the wash water to flow off the film evenly. If the wetting agent is not used and the squeegeeing has not been adequate, you'll get really strange drying marks on the film that won't come out.
Wetting agent suspending agent?
a chemical agent capable of reducing the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved (source:dictionary online)
What is use of calamine in calamine lotion?
several uses: its an emollient (to moisturise the skin); its a humectant (keeps water in the formulation); its a wetting agent (to help disperse the insoluble solids).
What is the use of glycerin in calamine lotion?
several uses: its an emollient (to moisturise the skin); its a humectant (keeps water in the formulation); its a wetting agent (to help disperse the insoluble solids).
Should you use soap?
Soap is a wetting agent that aids in the mechanical removal of bacteria.
