Document Summary
Environmental impact: the safer detergent stewardship initiative (sdsi) program of the u. s. Environmental protection agency (epa) recognizes corporate environmental leaders using safer surfactants which break down quickly into non-polluting chemicals and thus protect aquatic life. Notes: in order for water to wet a surface effectively, it is necessary to reduce its, surfactants are, water soluble, laundry detergents are formulated by mixing many ingredients in order to: Composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Calcium and magnesium salts of fatty acids are insoluble in water. Surfactants are used to decrease the surface tension of water. Soaps almost eliminate scum formation because they are less affected by ions. None of the answers apply: which of the following statements is false? causing water hardness, hard water contains certain alkaline earth cations. A substance that reduces (i. e. , donates electrons) another substance and in turn gets oxidized (i. e. , accepts electrons).
