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

Chemistry

Alinara [238K]3 years ago

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)

Explanation: Hope this helps! :D

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen<br> to form X g of water. X = g
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

In a 1.0× 10–6 M solution of Ba(OH)2(aq) at 25 °C, identify the relative molar amounts of these species.
Marysya12 [62]
Thank you for posting your question here. Below is the solution:

HNO3 --> H+ + NO3- 
<span>HNO3 = strong acid so 100% dissociation </span>
<span>** one doesn't need to find the molarity of water since it is the solvent </span>

<span>0M HNO3 </span>
<span>1x10^-6M H3O+ </span>
<span>1x10^-6M NO3- </span>
<span>1x10^-8M OH-.....the Kw = 1x10^-14 = [H+][OH-] </span>
<span>you have 1x10^-6M H+ so, 1x10^-14 / 1x10^-6 = 1x10^-8M OH- </span>


<span>1x10^-6 Ba(OH)2 = strong base, 100% dissociation </span>
<span>1x10^-6M Ba2+ </span>
<span>2x10^-6M OH- since there are 2 OH- / 1 Ba2+ </span>
<span>0M Ba(OH)2 </span>
<span>5x10^-9M H3O+</span>

Based on your answers to parts a, b, and c select the best lewis structure (electron-dot structure) for hoi.
vodomira [7]

Answer : The lewis dot structure includes the lone pair of electrons in any element and is helpful for defining the bond formation using the electrons.


In the molecule of HOI hydrogen is to the left of oxygen; oxygen is in middle and Iodine is at right of oxygen.


The picture is attached for better understanding.
