How does laundry detergent work on a molecular level?
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
Steps to know the effect of detergent to seed germination?
Bean seedlings would be negatively affected by water that was polluted by detergent. Most likely the bean seedlings would not sprout or would end up having a mutation.
Which dish detergent breaks up oil the best?
Like dissolves like. Water and oil do not mix because water molecules are polar (i.e., having either a positive or negative charge) and oil molecules are non-polar. Detergent molecules have a polar end and a non-polar end; think of a jellyfish with its head representing the polar side and its tails representing the non-polar end. In water, detergent molecules group themselves to form cage-like micelles, exposing the polar heads to water and shielding the non-polar tails. Detergent's non-polar ends stick to oil, and the detergent's polar head is soluble in water. With sufficient amount of detergent, the detergent molecules trap the oil molecules in cage-like micelles that are soluble in water. Rinse off the detergent with trapped oil and wallah! No more oil and grease! :-)
How do you convert this formula into 1 gallon 30 gallon tank of water has 1 cup of orange citrus 1 cup of laundry detergent 2 cups of bleach how much is in just 1 gallon?
It is not a formula. If the tank is full then nothing can be added. If the tank is almost full and the additional ingredients top up the tank to full then there was 29 gallons and 3 quarts of water. Divide this by the amount of the other ingredients. 29.75:1 orange citrus 29.75:1 detergent 14.875:1 bleach i figured it out it is: 15 cups of water 1/2 tablespoon orange 1/2 tablespoon laundry soap 1 tablespoon bleach i needed to figure out how much would be in only 1 gallon and not 30 gallons
When liquid is added to a solution of a detergent in water the detergent breaks up large globules of the lipid into much smaller globues what effect do you think a detergent would up large globules o?
Adding a detergent to a solution with large globules of lipids helps break them down into smaller globules due to the detergent's ability to lower surface tension. This allows the lipids to disperse more evenly in the solution, improving their solubility and making it easier to wash away dirt and grime from surfaces.
What happens when you mix laundry detergent and water?
When you mix laundry detergent and water, the detergent molecules attach to dirt and oil particles, breaking them up and making them easier to wash away. This process is known as emulsification, where the detergent helps to lift and suspend dirt in the water to be rinsed away.
What is the history of Tide laundry detergent?
The laundry detergent Tide became available to the public in 1946. Tide laundry detergent is made by Proctor and Gamble and makes up 30 percent of the detergent market.
Who came up with laundry detergent?
germans
Is laundry detergent durable or nondurable?
Laundry detergent is considered a nondurable good because it is typically used up or consumed relatively quickly.
What is the difference between HE Laundry Detergent to Regular Laundry Detergent?
High Efficiency (HE) laundry detergent is formulated to work best with high-efficiency washing machines, which use less water and are more energy-efficient. Regular laundry detergent may produce excess suds in HE machines and can cause them to malfunction. HE detergent is also typically more concentrated, requiring less product per load.
How does detergent sprayed on an spill break up the spill?
The nonpolar end of the detergent molecule attracts the oil molecules spreading them out as the detergent spreads across the water.
Is laundry detergent a mixture or a pure substance?
Laundry detergent is a mixture because it is made up of various ingredients, such as surfactants, enzymes, and fragrances, that are combined together to create the final product.
What does detergent do to laundry?
Detergent is designed to remove dirt, stains, and odors from laundry by breaking up and suspending them in the water. It helps to emulsify oils and grease, allowing them to be rinsed away from the fabric. Additionally, detergents contain surfactants that help to lift and release dirt particles from the fabric fibers.
How does detergent spilled on an oil spill break up the spill?
The nonpolar end of the detergent molecule attracts the oil molecules spreading them out as the detergent spreads across the water.
How do you clean up a large laundry detergent spill from garage floor?
kitty litterthen wash it down with dishwashing detergent
How do you do laundry?
A good rule of thumb if you know nothing about laundry is to wash everything in cold water with color-safe detergent (No bleach!) and hang dry all the clothes -- you can't shrink anything or mess up the colors that way.
What are the ingredients in xtra laundry detergent?
The ingredients in Xtra laundry detergent may vary depending on the specific product and formulation. However, common ingredients found in Xtra detergent may include surfactants, enzymes, brighteners, fragrance, and preservatives. It's best to check the product label for the most accurate and up-to-date information on ingredients.
