What is the purpose of the chemical ammonia (NH3) in hair dyes?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Ammonia, an alkaline chemical, is used to raise the pH level (it's levels of acidity) of our hair during the colouring process. This then lifts the cuticles of the hair fibre and allows the colour to be deposited onto the cortex (the inner part of the hair protected by the cuticles). In hair coloring products, ammonium hydroxide is used to support the lightening action of hydrogen peroxide and to prepare hair to accept color pigments. Alkaline properties of ammonia raise the cuticle and allow peroxide and dye molecules to penetrate the hair shaft. (creds to the internet)

How many moles of water are produced from 15 moles of oxygen?

Grace [21]

Answer:

30 moles

Explanation:

Water is H2O, meaning there is 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. Oxygen is O2, because it is a diatomic molecule. (Hydrogen is also a diatomic molecule, so H2)

The equation, balanced, would have to be: 2H2 + O2 -----> 2H2O

I multiply 15 moles O2 by the molar ratio of (hydrogen/oxygen)

15 mol. O2 * (2 mol. H2/1 mol O2) = 30 moles of water
