MISCELLANEOUS COMPONENTS
IDENTIFICATION OF ANIONS
AND CATIONS PRESENT IN
THE TOOTHPASTE
ANIONS IN AN ATOM OR MOLECULE THAT
CARRIES AN ELECTRIC CHARGE. CATIONS
ARE POSITIVELY CHARGED IONS CREATED BY
THE LOSS OF ELECTRONS. ANIONS ARE
NEGATIVELY CHARGED IONS CREATED BY
THE GAIN OF ELECTRONS. IN CHEMICAL
REACTIONS, ALL IONS EXHIBIT THEIR OWN
UNIQUE, CHARACTERISTIC BEHAVIORS.

TOOTHPASTE IS A PASTE OR GEL DENTIFRICE USED

WITH OA TOOTHBRUSH AS AN ACCESSORY TO CLEAN
AND MAINTAIN THE AESTHETICS AND HEALTH OF
TEETH.
TOOTHPASTE IS USED TO PROMOTE ORAL HYGIENE: IT
SERVES AS AN ABRASIVE THAT AIDS IN REMOVINGTHE
DENTAL PLAQUE AND FOOD FROM THE TEETH,
ASSISTS IN SUPPRESSING HALITOSIS, AND DELIVERS
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS (MOST COMMONLY FLUORIDE)
TO HELP PREVENT TOOTH AND DISEASE (GINGIVITIS).
MOST OF THE CLEANING IS ACHIEVED BY THE
MECHANICAL ACTION OF THE TOOTHBRUSH AND NOT
BY THE TOOTHPASTE. SALT AND SODIUM
BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA) ARE AMONG
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE SUBISTITUTED FOR
COMMERCIAL TOOTHPASTE. TOOTHPASTE IS NOT
INTENDED TO BE SWALLOWED DUE TO THE FLOURIDE
CONTENT, BUT IS GENERALLY NOT VERY HARMFUL IF
ACCIDENTLY SWALLOWED IN SMALL AMOUNTS.
HOWEVER ONE SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
AFTER SWALOWING ABNORMALLY LARGE AMOUNTS.

SAFETY TIPS WHILE DOING
THIS EXPERIMENT:-
WEAR EYE PROTECTION. AMMONIA SOLUTION
CAUSES BURNS AND GIVES OFF AMMONIA
VAPOURS WHICH IRRITATES THE EYES, LUNGS
AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
SODIUM HYDROXIDE CAN CAUSE BURNS AND IS
DANGEROUS TO THE EYES.
HYDROCHLORIC ACID CAN CAUSE BURNS.
BARIUM CHLORIDE IS HARMFUL BY INHALATION
AN IF SWALLOWED.
NITRIC ACID CAUSES BURNS.
