I would like to express my sincerest thanks and deep sense
of gratitude to my chemistry teacher Mrs. Poonam Sharma.
She has always been helpful to me and also acted as my
project guide with her able guidance throughout the
duration of my project work despite our busy schedule.
She was always there for me whenever I needed her help.

Calcium
Experiment
To 1 ml of O.S. directly add 1 ml of ammonium
oxalate solution. Add a little ammonium hydroxide
and scratch the sides. White precipitate will appear.
S.No Name of the toothpaste Conclusion
1. Pepsodent Ca2+confirmed
2. Colgate Ca2+confirmed
3. Close Up Ca2+confirmed
Test for
Phosphate
Experiment
To 2-3 ml of O.S. directly add excess dilute HNO3.
To this, add 1-2 ml of concentrate HNO3 andthen 3-4
ml of ammonium molybdate reagent and then keep it
aside for 5 minute. Canary yellow crystalline
precipitate will form.

2. Colgate PO43- present
3. Close Up PO43- present
Test for
Acetate
Experiment
To 1 ml of O.S. directly add HCl drop wise. Wait till
effervescence stops. Add freshly prepared
FeCl3solution. Brick red color will appear.
S.No Name of the Conclusion
toothpaste
1. Pepsodent CH3COO-absent
2. Colgate CH3COO- absent
3. Close Up CH3COO- absent
Test for
Magnesium
Experiment
To 1 ml of original solution (which is concentrated
by heating) add NH4Cl and NH4OH in excess
followed by disodium hydrogen phosphate. Scratch
the inside test tube with glass rod. White crystalline
precipitate will appear.
S.No Name of the Conclusion
toothpaste
1. Pepsodent Mg2+ present
2. Colgate Mg2+ present
3. Close Up Mg2+ present
Conclusion
Hence after testing different samples of
toothpaste, we find that Colgate, Pepsodent
and Close Up has necessary ingredients for
making teeth stronger and whiter.
