Shampoos                              
The term “shampoo” has it origin from Hindustani language (‘Hindustani people’ or ‘people of Hindusta’n also known as ‘Hindi people’ or ‘Hindavi’ are panethnicity primarily living in the Hindi belt region of India, which is located in the Gangetic plain of India between the Himalayas and Vindhyas)  meaning to ‘squeeze’. Originally shampoos were of soaps or a mixture of soaps, while synthetic detergents were used majorly in commercial shampoos.
Shampoo is a preparation of surfactant(surface active material) in a suitable forth either in liquid, or powder when applied as specified conditions is capable of removing surface grease, dirt and skin debris from the hair, shaft and scalp without affecting hair, scalp or the health of the user.
Shampoo types and forms
Shampoos are classified according to their physical appearance, their special ingredients or properties. These forms include: liquid clear shampoo, liquid creams/cream lotion shampoo, cream paste shampoos, egg shampoos, herbal shampoos, dry shampoos, liquid dry shampoos, color shampoos and aerosol shampoos and others. Formulations below are the examples of two forms of shampoo liquid shampoo and liquid cream/cream lotion shampoo. 
Liquid shampoo
This form of shampoo composed of potassium salt, but when it is based on synthetic it is a triethanolamine salt. They are also made from sulfonated oil and oftenly promoted as oil shampoo or hot shampoos. The formulation of this form may contain mineral oil which does not rinse out easily and thereby remains as a dressing on the hair.
Formulation of liquid shampoo
Ingredients                                                                              amount in percentage (%)
Coconut oil                                                                                         14%
Olive oil                                                                                              3%
Castor oil                                                                                             3%
Potassium hydroxide 85%                                                                  5%
Glycerol                                                                                              2%
Ethyl alcohol                                                                                       4 %
Sodium hexametaphosphate                                                               1 %
Perfume                                                                                               0.3%
Water                                                                                                  68%
Liquid cream/cream lotion shampoo
This form specializes on conditioning action whereby the hair is more lustrous, softer and easier to manage. Some of them contain lanolin, others dispersed egg powder and greater percentages contain ethanolamines of higher fatty acids which are best in their conditioning action. The formulation is as follows:
Ingredients                                                                                          amount in percentage (%)
Triethanolamine lauryl sulfate (C10 to C18)                                                     35%
Sodium alginate                                                                                             2.5%
Water                                                                                                            62.5%

How to write a Forensic Case Study: Murder of Junko Furuta

Image
Photo of Junko Furuta  For one to score high marks in a Forensic Case Study, one must  adhere to the following: Background of the case: This section contains details about the crime. It includes; the reasons for committing the offense, the conditions which the crime was committed, the circumstances of the crime scene and clear identification of the suspect(s) and the victim(s). One should ensure that the information in this part gives a precise idea of what the case is all about.   Pick and Write an article on Iwriter Website Evidence: This encompasses the piece of evidence found at the crime scene. The evidence should be described in details, that is, ways in which the evidence was collected, processed and preserved.   Forensic Tests: The tests should be two or more that were used to analyze the evidence. The science or theory of instrumentation used must be described fully.   Results: This consists of a detailed explanation of the forensic ...

Roles of Sodium Carbonate when Extracting Caffeine from Tea Leaves

Image
A student failed to add sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) when extracting caffeine from tea leaves with hot water. Though, high yield of caffeine was produced. The crystals melted at temperatures between 202  and 214 degree  Celsius. Explain. This happened because sodium carbonate did not interfere with the caffeine content of the tea leaves. Sodium carbonate (which is a base) deprotonates the phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) (acidic) of tannins rendering them anionic. Hence, making them highly soluble in water, but parsimoniously soluble in methylene chloride. So, if sodium carbonate is not added when extracting caffeine with hot water, the extracted caffeine would also contain tannins. Additionally, sodium carbonate is added during the extraction to keep caffeine (an alkaloid which is an organic base)  in a free base form. It prevents caffeine from reacting with available acid available, which may lead to the formation cation. It reacts with a phenolic h...

Arrhenius equation: Increasing temperature increases the rate reaction

Image
The rate of reaction of a particular reaction often increases as one increase the temperature. However, how can this belief be proved using Arrhenius equation? According to the Arrhenius equation, the rate constant (k) is obtained by the ratio of Ea to RT, in which Ea denotes required energy while RT is the available thermal energy. The Arrhenius Equation is given by: k=Ae - (Ea/RT) When Ea is larger, it results in slower reactions. On the other hand, when RT is large, it leads to faster rate of reaction. Larger Ea gives smaller rate constant k, but larger RT produces larger rate constant (k). Larger rate constant increases the rate of reactions.  By using Arrhenius equation, one can easily see that when the temperature is increased, the rate constant will also increase. Let us consider these two scenarios. In the first scenario, Ea=120,000 Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K=373K.In the second scenario, Ea=120,000Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K...
