 Theory
Every toothpaste contains the following
ingredients: binders, abrasives, subsets,
humectants, flavours, sweeteners,
fluorides, tooth whiteners, a
preservative and water. Binders thicken
toothpaste- they prevent separation of
the solid and liquid component,
especially storage. They also effect the
speed and volume of foam production,
rate of flavour release and product
dispersal, the appearance of toothpaste
ribbon on the toothbrush. Some binders
are gum solid alginate, methyl cellulose,
carrageen and magnesium aluminium
silicate

Take a part of the solution and add Formation of white CO3 confirmed

MgSO4 solution. ppt.

Take a part of the solution and add Formation of white Ca confirmed

ammonium hydride (1-2 ml) ppt.

Take a part of solution and add Formation of white PO4 confirmed.

magnesium mixture (mixture of NH4Cl ppt.

and NH4OH)

Acidity a portion of aqueous solution whit A yellow ppt. I is conformed

dilute HNO3. Boil and cool and add is formed which is

AgNO3. insoluble NH4OH

Take a small quantity of solution and add Smells like that of CH3COO

oxalic acid vinegar absent

Prepare the paste of it with a few drops of

water rub and smell.

To one part of the solution and add KI No reaction Pb absent

To one part of the solution and add solid A white ppt is formed Mg present

NH4Cl and NH4OH is slight excess and

then add ammonium phosphate

Chemical Reaction
1. CO3 + MgSO4 → MgCO3 + SO4 (white ppt.)
2. CO3 + 2CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2 Ca + H2O
(CH3COO)2Ca + (NH4)2C2O4 →
2CHCOONH4 +CaC2O4
3. NaHPO4 + MgCl2 + NH4OH → Mg
(NH4)PO4 + 2NaCl + H2O
4. I+ AgNO3 →NO3+AgI (yellow ppt.)
5. (COOH)2 + 2CH3COONa → NO REACTION
6. Pb + 2KI→ NO REACTION
7. MgCl2 + NH4OH+ (NH3)2HPO4 → Mg
(NH4)PO4 + 2NH4 +H2O

Conclusion
Hence after testing different samples
of toothpaste, we find that Colgate
has all necessary for stronger and
whiter teeth.
