Aluminium hydroxide is a base. When any hydroxide reacts with an acid, it produces salt and water which is called neutralisation. Toothpaste contains aluminium hydroxide so it neutralises the effect of acids in our mouth reducing germs and tooth decay.
Sodium hydroxide becomes very alkaline when dissolved in water, so it is used to neutralize the acidic pH imbalance caused by the other chemicals used in most toothpastes.
Type your answer here... because it protects the tooth decay and reduce the growth of becateria.
It wil prevent the toothpaste from being so acidic which will prevent tooth decay
Its use in toothpaste is as an abrasive.
Toothpaste and mouthwash often contain sodium fluoride.
Sodium hydroxide becomes very alkaline when dissolved in water, so it is used to neutralize the acidic pH imbalance caused by the other chemicals used in most toothpastes. Its common name is "lye" and it can be toxic if ingested. Therefore, toothpastes that contain sodium hydroxide often have a warning label that advises consumers to get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away "if more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed".
The symbol for Sodium Hydroxide is NaoH
Sodium hydroxide.
There is no reaction. "Hydroxide acid" is water, which does not react with sodium hydroxide.
No, sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive, toothpaste may contain sodium bicarbonate.
Toothpaste and solid soap- contain "sodium hydroxide". Indigestion tablets- contain "calcium carbonate." Washing powder- contain "sodium bicarbonate". Liquid soap- contain "potassium hydroxide"
Well it is sodium hydroxide that is found in toothpaste.This is the simplest answer you could ever find
sodium hydroxide is baking powder in your tooth paste it is suppose to get rid of place faster
it is not sodium hydrogen it is sodium hydroxide,it is so because it is an alkaline and it fights against acids in the mouth which make tooth decay...............
This base may be sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Sodium hydroxide is an alkaline substance which dissolves in water.
a toothpaste is made up of :- sodium fluoride- water- hydrated silica- sorbitol- glycerin- potassium nitrate- sodium lauryl sulfate- cellulose gum- sodium hydroxide
fluoride in toothpaste, sodium hydroxide in soaps,sodium chloride in salt, are some
Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide.
one of them
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
