Question

What change would occur when that toiletry is used if the concentration was 2 decimal places to the right. Example Tooth paste Sodium Fluoride concentration, Hydrogen peroxide concentration, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, etc.

Solution concentrations are critical in knowing how much a molecule or substance is contained in a liquid. If there is a 12 M solution of Sulfuric acid and a 0.12M of sulfuric acid the differences between the 2 solutions are 2 decimal places but could be the difference between life and death. Use an example from your toiletries ingredients.

Answer 1

Generally, the toilet cleaners come with diluted HCl in order to corrode the stains and get cleaner toilets. The diluted HCl will not cause any damage, but with higher concentration (less diluted concentration), it can straight away cause skin corrosion and other damages. The highly concentrated HCl will peel off the entire human skin and by mistake felt on clothes can cause serious injuries.

Hence the difference between two decimal places will cause hte difference between life and death
