Explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is the common name for ammonium dodecyl sulfate (CH3(CH2)10CH2OSO3NH4). The anion consists of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group. The combination of nonpolar and polar groups confers surfactant properties to the anion: it facilitates the dissolution of both polar and non-polar materials. ALS is classified as a sulfate ester. It is found primarily in shampoos and body wash as a foaming agent. Lauryl sulfates are very high-foam surfactants that disrupt the surface tension of water in part by forming micelles at the surface-air interface.

In a sample of liquid water (H2O), which property differs among the water molecules?
garik1379 [7]

In a sample liquid water, a property that differs among the water molecules is its own orientation and space. The explanation of the answer to the question is because the number of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms and the hydrogen and atoms’ arrangement will never change and will always be the same for each of the water molecule. The strength of the bond of it also does not change and stays the same.

A very specific procedure scientists follow when conducting experiments is known as the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Scientific Method.

Explanation:

A scientific method is basically a method or a process when you conduct an experiment. Normally, the process goes like this:

1. You make like a question or something that you want to investigate, it's like the aim of the experiment.

2. You make an experiment and a hypothesis. A hypothesis is basically a guess on how the results of the experiment would turn out. You don't have to be correct for the hypothesis since there is no right or wrong answer.

3. Conduct the experiment. I don't think this needs a detailed explanation since experiments vary from one another.

4. Collect results. The data you collect come in different ways based on your experiment, but it is crucial you get data so that you can answer your question in 1.

5. Make inferences. You can't directly get a conclusion or answer from the results, so inferences are needed.

6. Craft a conclusion or answer. This is the final step when conducting an experiment and the part where you have the answer you needed when you conducted the experiment :)
