Why does pepper separate in a bowl of water when dish detergent is added to it?
Pepper is a different chemical to that of detergent and therefore they repel each othere and the pepper moves as far as it can from the detergent which is the edge of the bowl.
What is the chemical in dishwashing degergent that repels pepper?
It is not so much the chemical but what it does. Detergents act as a surfactant or an additive that reduces waters cohesion or the ability of the water molecules to hang onto one another. As you add the detergent, the water without the detergent hangs on to itself and the pepper, causing the pepper to be drawn away from the detergent/surfactant.
Is run away pepper a chemical reaction?
Runaway pepper is a chemical reaction because when you drop the detergent into the water, it reduces the cohesiveness between the water and the pepper. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water and the tension on the rest of the water pulls the floating pepper away from the soap. In other words, it reduces the pulling action on the pepper and the pepper appears to run away from the detergent. But the water around the edges (untouched by the detergent) still has its full pulling strength.[= ~ ! ~ x.Contagious.Sickness.x ~ ! ~ =]^----^(=^_^=)--->o
