Why does Woolite glow in the dark?
i never new it did
What is the chemical compound in Woolite which causes it to fluoresce under a black light?
Woolite contains ingredients called optical brighteners, benzenesulfonateis is one that is present in Woolite. These ingredients absorb ultraviolet light and emit it as visible blue light. This effect masks the yellow appearance that white clothes often take on after time. They are not actually any whiter, but appear that way. A black light, often called a UV light will reveal the presence of optical brighteners in detergents, these types should never be used to wash military clothing as these ingredients will increase the visibility of the clothing.ANSWER:The manufacturers of woolite Reckitt Beckniser give the contents of the chemical coumpound mixtures in the company website as some ionic surfactants like alkylbenzene sulfonic acid,cocnut acid,inert filler,and benzisothiazolinone emulsifiers for paints that can absob light and glow in the dark. However the most important chemical that glows in the dark and used as embalming fluid is Butylated Hydroxtoluene ,also used in woolite.The manufacturers do not mention quinine as an ingredient in woollite nor does quinine glow under dark light but under UV light.Additional information:Fluorescent compounds absorb light in the UV region (not visible to humans), and emit the energy in the form of light of visible wavelength. The energy taken in has a smaller wavelength than the energy given out, corresponding to the equation:E = hv, and subsequently E = h x c / lambda.h = plancks constant, c is speed of light, E = energy, lambda is the wavelength of light. From this equation, it can be seen that E is proportional to 1/lambda. There is a loss of energy (mostly vibrational/non-radiative) that allows fluorescence to occur.A similar phenomenon witnessed is phosphorescence, which lasts longer than fluorescence (for a more complicated reason)
Can you wash darks and whites together?
You might be able to get away with it once or twice, but overall, it is better that you do not. The dyes in clothes come out in the laundry water in small amounts. That is why clothes fade over time. If you are washing lights and darks together, when those dark dyes come out in the laundry water, they are going to be soaked up by the lighter clothes. Eventually, your lighter clothes will start to look pretty dingy, and since it is dye, you won't be able to do much about it.
Why does dark laundry come out with white?
The dye in dark clothing comes out regardless of the presences of white clothing. When a dark item is dyed, the manufacturer sets the dye to make sure that it stays on the fabric, but some of the dye doesn't set. When this item is washed, some of that un-set dye may come off and redeposit itself on surrounding clothes. If the dye redeposits on a dark item, the dye will not be visible, but if the dye redeposits on a white item, the dye will change the color. It is generally not permanent, but sometimes the heat of the dryer can set the newly redeposited dye into clothes.
What makes the color of the coke?
If you are referring to colas, Coke, Pepsi, etc., the dark color mainly comes from caramel coloring. There are other ingredients, which in combination add to the color, but the primary coloring agent is the caramel coloring.
