Acknowledgement 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. Then I would like to thank the laboratory assistant of chemistry lab for his assistance and co-operation. Finally I would like to thank my parents and my friends without whom I would not been able to complete my project. ANURAG MEHRA XII- A

Certificate This is to clarify that the project report on the topic “presence of ions in toothpaste” submitted by Anurag Mehra of “XII- A” of St. Mary’s Christian School is an original one authentic and is done in fulfillment of C.B.S.E SYLLABUS for all India senior school secondary examination to be held in the year 2015-16.

Introduction Every toothpaste contains the following ingredients: Binders, abrasives, flavors, 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 flavor release and product dispersal, the appearance of toothpaste ribbon on the toothbrush. Some binders are gum methyl cellulose, carrageen and magnesium aluminum silicate.

AIM TO CHECK THE IONS PRESENT IN THE TOOTH PASTE OF VARIOUS BRANDS.

Apparatus and Chemicals Required  Test Tubes  Test Tube Holder  Glass Rod  Lime water [Ca(OH)2]  Dilute H2SO4  Ammonium Oxalate [(NH4)2C2O4]  Dilute and Conc. HNO3  Ammonium Molybdate  Ferric chloride [FeCl3]  Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate  Ammonium Chloride [NH4Cl]  Ammonium Hydroxide [NH4OH]

Test for Carbonate Experiment Add dilute H2SO4 to test tube containing toothpaste. Pass the evolved gas through lime water. It will turn milky.

Conclusion CO32present CO32present CO32present

Chemical Reaction Involved CO32- + H2SO4 (aq) → CO2(g) + SO42-(aq) + H2O (l)

CO2(g) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaCO3(g) + H2O (l) Calcium Hydroxide (Lime water)

Calcium Carbonate (White ppt.)

Test for 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.

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.

Conclusion Mg2+ present Mg2+ present Mg2+ present

Chemical Reaction Involved Mg2+ + HPO42-(aq) +NH4+ (aq)→Mg(NH4)PO4(s) + H+(aq) Hydrogen Phosphate ions

Magnesium ammonium phosphate (Crystalline white
