In this task, you will research and present your findings on ammonium lauryl sulfate, also called ammonium dodecyl sulfate.Ammonium lauryl sulfate is a type of surfactant, a cleaning chemical commonly used in shampoos and detergents. Your presentation will consist of 5 to 10 slides, built using presentation software.
Part A
Conduct Internet research to learn about the properties and structure of ammonium lauryl sulfate. In the space provided, write down at least three sources of information that are usable and credible. Use sources with URLs that end in .gov, such as CDC.gov. Government sites are reliable sources. You can also use sites with URLs ending in .edu. They are usually trustworthy, but sometimes students, rather than scientists, write content for .edu websites. Always identify the author of the source before proceeding. Some .org and .com sites are credible, but it’s important to verify their authenticity. Cite your sources using Modern Language Association (MLA) citation methods.
Part B
What purpose does ammonium lauryl sulfate serve when used as a surfactant? Where is it commonly used?
Part C
Describe the properties of ammonium lauryl sulfate that make it a feasible surfactant. Properties can include strength, conductivity, solubility, reactivity, durability, and state of matter.
Part D
Explain how the properties of ammonium lauryl sulfate make it useful for its intended purpose. Write a short paragraph.
Part E
Describe the structure of ammonium lauryl sulfate. Refer to the given diagram. Your answer should include the type of bonding, the elements contained, and the size and shape of the molecule. Write a short paragraph.
Part F
In a few sentences, describe the molecular polarity and the intermolecular forces present in ammonium lauryl sulfate.
Part G
Explain how the structure of ammonium lauryl sulfate, as described in parts E and F, produces the properties identified in part C. Write a short paragraph or two.
Part H
Create a 5- to 10-slide presentation that explains the uses, properties, structure, and polarity of ammonium lauryl sulfate.In the presentation, describe how the molecular properties of ammonium lauryl sulfate serve the application for which it was designed. The presentation should follow a sequence like that of a five-paragraph paper, including an introduction and a conclusion. Use your resources and notes from parts A through G to help you, and include images where appropriate.
When doing the presentation please do it in google slides, Also it is not critical that you do this presentation (part H) it would be helpful though.
