Is hair relaxer an acid or base?
Hair relaxer is typically a strong alkali, or base. It works by breaking down the disulfide bonds in the hair to straighten it.
Would you use a strong or weak acid to neutralise left over alkali in hair?
A weak acid like citric acid or vinegar would be more suitable for neutralizing leftover alkali in hair, as it is gentle and less likely to cause damage or irritation to the scalp and hair. Strong acids can be too harsh and may lead to further damage to the hair.
Which colour does a strong alkali turn litmus paper?
ph 8- p14 is a alkali. blue for weak alkali (ph 8) purple for strong alkali (ph14)
How can you describe the way the pH changes when a strong acid is added slowly to a strong alkali?
As a strong acid is added slowly to a strong alkali, the pH will gradually decrease due to the neutralization reaction. Initially, the pH will increase as the alkali is added, then start to decrease as the acid is added until it reaches a neutral pH of 7 when the acid and alkali are fully neutralized.

What is the reaction when you add acids and alkali's?
you create a neutral solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it depends actually it doesn't always create a neutral solution. Here's the order: Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Strong Alkali + Weak Acid = Weak Alkali Weak Alkali + Weak Acid = Neutralisation ( water + salt) Weak Alkali + Strong Acid = Weak Acid Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Hope it helps! :)

What alkali is in most shampoos?
Many clarifying shampoos use alkaline ingredients to swell the hair shaft and allow the surfactants to penetrate more deeply. Most hair relaxers use a strong alkali to soften the hair, break the side bonds of the hair and remove curl. In addition, many conditioners and moisturizing shampoos use acidic compounds to contract the hair shaft, smoothing it and locking in moisture.
Does strong alkali harm you?
