Sodium hypochlorite

acid esters are used as fragrance enhancers. The salts of benzoic acid serve as the preservatives. Most sodas and juices are preserved with sodium benzoate. 2. Literature study…

removes substances that can taint water taste like manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and iron. Chlorination can also be made to fit any system size and does not require high maintenance. It is easy to transport because it can be transferred as sodium or calcium hypochlorite. Chlorine also continues to protect treated water from being infected again which is another positive aspect. This is due to chlorines residual that remains in the water effluent even after the initial treatment which can also be…

In a series of trials, treating of DUWLs with sodium hypochlorite, glutaraldehyde, and isopropanol was investigated. These agents reduced microorganisms in effluent water but did not destroy the biofilm matrix in the DUWLs, even with periodic treatments [ 8].Similar results were obtained for Listerine, Bio 2000, Rembrandt, and Sodium fluoride [ 23].There are now an increasing number of commercial disinfectants that practice managers can use…

one which occurs in the pool between chlorine and water (Deb Smith, 2006). Equation 1 A reaction takes place with water to produce hypochlorous acid, HOCL and chloride ions Cl-. The hypochlorous acid slowly begins to separate into hydrogen and hypochlorite ions (OCL-). This can be modelled into an equation (Deb Smith, 2006). Equation 2 The presence of H3O+ directly affects the pH reading. This reaction…

dentist then removes any nerve tissue that has decayed and any debris present, using root canal files to accomplish this. A series of files must be used to scrub and scrape the sides of the canal, with each file being larger in diameter. A sodium hypochlorite solution or water will be used at various times throughout the process to remove any debris. Once all debris has been removed and the canals are clean, the tooth must be sealed. This may take place immediately or the dentist may opt to wait…

In designing our science fair project, many concepts and variables are to be considered. Our science fair project is experimenting on how rust forms so research and prior knowledge is required before we actually conduct the experiment. Having previous information on the topic allows us to be able to alter the variables accurately when we actually administer the procedure. For our project, we are exploring the idea of the formation of rust and how the lack of or extra variables could affect the…

The first common household item I will discuss is Windex. The company that produces Windex is S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. from Wisconsin. Although this product is mainly water, other main ingredients include ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. According to Hazard.com, hazards identification for Windex includes a list explaining adverse effects of ingestion or overexposure. Windex should not be inhaled or ingested. It may cause moderate irritation if it’s in contact with an individual’s skin for too…

The active ingredients of hydrogen peroxide are molecules of oxygen and hydrogen. The mechanism of action for the disinfectant bleach is the destruction of cellular metabolism causing the death of the bacterial cell, its active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite. The final antimicrobial agent is Envirocide which has the active ingredient of isopropanol whose mechanism of action is causing membrane damage, destruction of cellular metabolism and lysis of the…

World War 1 is one of the bloodiest wars in American history as we lost over 32,710 soldiers in battle (WWI). From poison gas to machine guns, from airplanes to tanks their were people dying left and right in this war. With the medical procedures and medicine we have, I am sure that more than half of those soldiers could have been saved. World War One laid the groundwork for the medical field to advance into what it is today. World War One medical care was based off the French and the British,…

Factory farming is a cruel, unsanitary, and abusive practice that has many harmful affects not only the animals confined in slaughterhouses, but also on unsuspecting consumers. By creating tighter government regulations regarding how the animals are raised and how the meat is treated, we could avoid all of the potentially deadly side effects linked to factory farming. While mass production of poultry and beef has done wonders for restaurant supply and company profit, the measures taken to…
