Answer:

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is a mild surfactant.

Explanation:

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant. A surfactant is a compound that helps in mixing the matters (solid, liquid, and gas) with one another. It functions by decreasing the surface tension between the two matters. Primarily they are used to mix water with oil. After getting mixed, they help in washing the dirt away.

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is a mild surfactant as compared to surfactant as compared to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in terms of irritation. It is used as one of the components in cosmetics and toiletry formulations. It acts as a surface mixing agent for foaming, wetting and dispersing.

If temperature is increased , the number of collisions per second

AfilCa [17]

Answer: when the temperature is increased, the number of collisions per second increases.

Explanation:

the rate of collisions and the temperature is directly proportional. If the energy of the gas particles is boosted by using the temperature, the chances of the particles bumping into each other due to the high energy increases, thus increasing the number of collisions. This also increases the rate of reaction. Thus when temperature is increased the number of collisions also increases.
