Aerosol is somewhat of a blanket term referring to a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles. Aerosol can even be things such as smoke, smog and air pollution. Basically, in the context of the can, the aerosol is the delivery method of the solution being suspended, whether it's a deodorant or a lubricant.

What is the solvent and solute of Italian dressing?

Italians use vinegar and oil on their salads, typically applied separately, although Americans tend to like to mix the two together. They really do do not mix well, and tend to form a suspension, or sometimes an emulsion for a period of time before separating. You wouldn't really define one being a solvent and the other being a solute. Although, it a sense, the oil may tend to form droplets within the water/vinegar matrix so I'd inclined to label the water/vinegar as the solvent.


Why should you not talk while your mouth is full?

Talking with your mouth full is foremost a social no-no. Talking with your mouth full gives those you are talking to a eyeful of your half-chewed food, a sight that many find distasteful. Furthermore it is difficult to speak clearly with your mouth full of food. This leads to mumbling, garbled words, and crumbs and food particles being sprayed out of your mouth. There is at least one health-related reason not to talk with your mouth full. It could cause you to choke, since by talking you open up your windpipe, which food might accidentally go down, causing you to choke.

Who invented deodorant?

Deodorant as we know it today started with the original formulation for Mum deodorant that was invented in 1888, by an unknown inventor from Philadelphia. Generally recognized as being the first ever product to prevent odor, the inventor promptly trademarked his invention and distributed it through his nurse under the name of "Mum." In the late 1940s Helen Barnett Diserens joined the Mum production team. A suggestion by a colleague inspired Helen to develop an underarm deodorant based on the same principle as a newfangled invention called the 'ball point' pen. This new type of deodorant applicator was tested in the USA in 1952, and marketed under the name of Ban Roll-On. The first anti-perspirant aerosol deodorant was launched in 1965.
