Question 1: Reducing agent
Answer:
A substance that adds hydrogen to a chemical compound or subtracts oxygen from the compound.
Question 2: Solution
Answer:
a stable physical mixture of two or more substances
Question 3: Alpha Hydroxyl Acids
Answer:
Abbreviated AHAs; acids derived from plants (mostly fruit) that are often used to exfoliate the skin.
Question 4: Oxidation-reduction
Answer:
Also known as redox (ree-DOCS); a chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced (by losing oxygen) and the reducing agent is oxidized (by gaining oxygen).
Question 5: Suspension
Answer:
unstable physical mixtures of undissolved particles in a liwuid
Question 6: Exothermic reaction
Answer:
Chemical reactions that release a significant amount of heat.
Question 7: Ammonia
Answer:
Colorless gas with a pungent odor that is composed of hydrogen and nitrogen.
Question 8: Volatile Organic Compounds
Answer:
Abbreviated VOCs; compounds that contain carbon (organic) and evaporate very easily (volatile).
Question 9: Immiscible
Answer:
liquids that are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions
Question 10: Thioglycolic Acid
Answer:
A colorless liquid or white crystals with a strong unpleasant odor that is used in permanent waving solutions
Question 11: Glycolic Acid
Answer:
An alpha hydroxy acid used in exfoliation and to lower the pH of products.
Question 12: Glycerin
Answer:
Sweet, colorless, oily substance used as a solvent and as a moisturizer in skin and body creams.
Question 13: Solvent
Answer:
the substance that dissolves the solute and makes a solution
Question 14: Emulsifier
Answer:
An ingredient that brings two normally incompatible materials together and binds them into a uniform and fairly stable blend.
Question 15: Miscible
Answer:
liquids that are mutually soluble, meaning that they can be mixed together to form stable solution
Question 16: Water-in-oil emulsion
Answer:
Abbreviated W/O emulsion; water droplets emulsified in oil.
Question 17: Surfactant
Answer:
A contraction of surface active agents; substances that allow oil and water to mix, or emulsify.
Question 18: Emulsion
Answer:
An unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances (substances that normally will not stay blended) plus a special ingredient called an emulsifier.
Question 19: Combustion
Answer:
Rapid oxidation of a substance accompanied by the production of heat and light.
Question 20: Silicone Oils
Answer:
Special type of oil used in hair conditioners, water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish dryers.
Question 21: Solute
Answer:
the substance that is dissolved in a solution
Question 22: Oil-in-water emulsion
Answer:
Abbreviated O/W emulsion; oil droplets emulsified in water.
Question 23: Volatile alcohols
Answer:
Alcohols that evaporate easily.
Question 24: Alkanolamines
Answer:
Alkaline substances used to neutralize acids or raise the pH of many hair products.
Question 25: Oxidizing agent
Answer:
Also known as redox (ree-DOCS); a chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced (by losing oxygen) and the reducing agent is oxidized (by gaining oxygen).
