properties of mixtures and solutions.

Identify and classify substances as pure substances or mixtures.

Investigate the effects of mixing different substances.


INTRODUCTION TO DISHWASHING SOAP
Dishwashing soap, also referred to as dish detergent or
dishwashing liquid, is a cleaning agent specifically formulated
for washing dishes and utensils. It is designed to remove
grease, food residues, and other contaminants from dishes
effectively. Typically composed of surfactants, detergents, and
other additives, dishwashing soap plays a crucial role in
maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in kitchens worldwide.
IMPORTANCE OF LIQUID DISHWASHING
SOAP
1.Efficient Cleaning: Liquid dishwashing soap is specifically formulated to break down grease,
food residues, and other tough stains, making it highly effective in removing dirt and grime from
dishes.
2.Sanitization: Dishwashing soap contains antimicrobial agents that help kill bacteria and other
pathogens present on dishes, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
3.Convenience: Liquid dishwashing soap is easy to use and can be quickly applied to dishes for
thorough cleaning. Its liquid form allows for easy dispensing and distribution.
4.Versatility: Liquid dishwashing soap can be used not only for washing dishes but also for cleaning
various kitchen surfaces, such as countertops and sinks, making it a versatile cleaning solution.
5.Hygiene: Properly cleaned dishes and utensils promote good hygiene practices in the kitchen,
preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the safety of food preparation.
6.Environmental Considerations: Many liquid dishwashing soaps are formulated to be
biodegradable and environmentally friendly, minimizing their impact on ecosystems when disposed
of properly.
CLASS ACTIVITY
This activity is to show the cleaning effect of liquid dishwashing
soap and how it reacts with stains like grease and oil in other to
remove them.
• Fill a bowl or basin with water.
• Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the water to simulate greasy dishwater.
• Observe how the oil forms a layer on the surface of the water and discuss why it is
difficult to clean.
• Add a drop of dishwashing soap to the bowl and gently stir the mixture.
• Observe how the dishwashing soap interacts with the oil, causing it to break apart and
disperse in the water.
• Discuss how surfactants in the dishwashing soap help to emulsify and dissolve the
ABOUT THE PROJECT
In this project, students will prepare liquid dishwashing soap using baking
soda and sodium lauret sulphate/ Texapon as the key ingredients by a
process known as detergent formulation.
Surfactants (foam forming) like sodium lauret sulphate (SLS) and abrasive
like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and other ingredients such as salt
and lemon juice combine/mix to create a liquid dishwashing soap.
• NOTE: This process may not be considered as a saponification process
because saponification specifically refers to reaction between fats/oil
and an alkali (base) to form soap.
KEY INGREDIENTS IN MAKING LIQUID
DISHWASHING SOAP
1.Sodium luareth sulphate/ Taxapoon: Acts as a surfactant and
foaming agent. This property allows them to break down grease and
oil.
2.Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate): Baking soda acts as a mild
abrasive and can help with degreasing and deodorizing
Other ingredients include:
Lemon juice: Acts as a cleaning agent and anti-microbial
Colour: To add desired colour to the soap
Table salt: Aids in the removal of stains
Perfume: To add fragrance to the soap and also anti-microbial
Water: To dissolve/ mix the ingredients
EQUIPMENTS TO BE USED
1.Plastic bowl
2.Wooden spatula
3.Beaker
4.Table top weighing machine
5.Foil
6.Plastic bottles and spoon
7.Safety wears ( nose mask, lab coat, hand gloves etc)
SAFETY PRECAUSTIONS
Wear safety goggles, nose mask, gloves, and lab coats or aprons to protect eyes,
hands, and clothing from exposure to chemicals.
Work in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes and vapors from
chemicals.
Handle all chemicals with care and follow instructions for storage, handling, and
disposal provided by your teacher
Avoid direct skin contact with chemicals. In case of contact, rinse immediately
with water.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling chemicals and before
eating, drinking, or touching the face
Do not eat or drink or put anything in the mount while carrying out this project.
Follow the teacher’s instruction throughout this project.
FORMULATION PROCEDURES ( step by step)
Students will be divided into groups and each group will carry out the formulation
● Pour 300ml of H2O in a clean container
● Add any desired color
● Add 5g of baking soda
● Stair well to dissolve completely
● Add 15ml of lemon juice
● Add 50g of Sodium laurate sulphate/texapon
● Add 25g of table salt
● Stir the mixture until it becomes thick
● Add perfume into 150ml of water and stir
● Add the perfume mixture into the soap mixture
PROJECT REPORT/ WORKSHEET
Students will complete the project report/ worksheet individually by answering the
questions provided.
