Introduction
One of the problems of Filipino today is the yellowish teeth they have. Some of them are afraid to smile because they are ashamed of their teeth. Now is there any process that can help them with this kind of problem?
Bleaching is a whitening process that can occur in solution or on a surface (Elsevier 2006). Therefore, bleaching is a process that can help Filipino with their problem. This process is called Teeth Bleaching. It is one of the options of teeth whitening (iust.edu.sy). Teeth bleaching techniques depends on the vitality of the teeth of the patient or where it will be done.
Bleaching of non-vital teeth, these teeth are changed in color after endodontic treatment. Non- vital procedures, this includes “In-Office Non-Vital Bleaching Technique” and “Walking Bleach Technique”. A certain amount of peroxide compounds, counting carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate and calcium peroxide, have been utilized as dynamic elements for fading materials (American Dental Association 2009).
This research will be conducted to determine how much hydrogen peroxide concentration should be applied in the “In-Office Bleaching Technique” and “Walking Bleach Technique” materials to be more effective in teeth whitening.
Statement of the Problem General Objective: This study will investigate the effect of the certain amount of hydrogen peroxide applied to the material used in in-office bleaching and walking bleach technique in teeth whitening. Specific Objectives:
1. To investigate the effect of different materials with different hydrogen peroxide concentration in teeth whitening.
2. To differentiate the amount of hydrogen peroxide in

    As Rachel would prefer to not use bleach in the service but would like to keep her hair at a level 8 then I would recommend using a tint application instead of another bleaching service that will cause further breakage and be less harsh on her hair. To match the colour of her ends I have chosen to use Kolosten Perfect 8/07 (light blonde natural brown). Using a tint on the natural regrowth will lift her natural level and will colour over her artificial colour on her ends.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to inspect the effect of environmental conditions on hydrogen peroxidase. The three conditions tested were the effect of peroxidase concentration on the rate of the experiment, the effect of pH of the rate of peroxidase activity, and the effect of temperature on the rate of peroxidase activity. During the lab, the lab group tested 7 test tubes, including 1 blank, with different amounts of pH 5 buffer, H2O2, Peroxidase, and Guaiacol. After the certain amount of mL per substance was mixed, the absorbance readings for the effect of peroxidase concentration were taken from the spectrophotometer. The results for the effect…

    The enzyme peroxidase has been shown to break down H2O2. Enzymes are known to increase the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. We looked at factors that affected the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. These effects are the different temperatures and pH levels the enzymes were placed in. We found that the optimum, or best condition, temperature for the enzymes tested was about 22 degrees Celsius. The optimum pH level for the enzyme was 7.…

    In 1728, the first bleaching company was founded by Scottish using crofting technique. They soaked the fabrics in a lye solution and washed them in water. After this, the fabrics were spread out in a large field for around two weeks. This process was replicated six times in order for fabrics to be whitened enough. “This method was repetitive, arduous, and took over large area of lands which could have been used for other purposes such as farming (Duncan).” In early 18th century, Karl Wilhelm Scheele, Swedish Chemist, discovered a highly reactive and greenish yellow gaseous halogen element and named it Chlorine. Later on, in 1785, Claude Berthollet, French Scientist, found the advantage of Chlorine; it was the most effective whitening agent (Morrison). He also invented the new hypochlorite bleach. It was consisted of soda ash which had soaked up Chlorine gas and named after the town where it was contrived, “Eau de Javelle” (Wagnall). During the Industrial Revolution, people produced the bleaching powder using lime. “They treated lime with water, spread them all over a large room, and pumped the chlorine gas into the room to be soaked up by the lime (Morrison).” It was used until liquid chlorine and sodium hypochlorite solutions were invented around World War…

    The objective of this experiment is to determine the percentage by mass of calcium carbonate,CaCO3 in toothpaste using back titration technique. A known weight portion of toothpaste is obtained to react with known volume and concentration of standard acid solution. After completing the reaction, the resulting solution containing excess acid is back titrated with known volume and concentration of standard base solution. Determination of excess acid after reaction allow us to calculate the amount of acid react with CaCO3 in toothpaste sample. My result for this experiment shows that 19.6% of calcium carbonate presents in toothpaste sample. In conclusion,CaCO3 only made up approximately one fifth of toothpaste sample, toothpaste derived from a variety of component such as fluoride, water and detergent. Since the result obtained approaching 20%, saying that most of the error is avoided, the chemical reaction in this experiment is rapid and complete with no side reaction, determination of concentration of reactant is accurate, it is a successful experiment.…

    In order to obtain water for drinking purpose, water is first treated with alum whereby clay and other colloidal particles go precipitated the suspended impurities are then removed by filtration and the clear water obtained is subjected to some suitable treatment to destroy harmful germs and bacteria. These bacteria cause many dangerous disease such as cholera, thyroid, dysentery, tuberculosis, diphtheria etc. The process of killing the harmful bacteria by some suitable treatment of water is called STERILIZATION of DISINFECTION OF WATER. The common sterilizer agents are chlorine, ozone, bleaching powder, potassium per magnate chloramines. Sterilization of water through bleaching powder gives chlorine and if it is in excess, it is harmful for health and causes diseases like chlorawis, unconsciousness etc. So here we determine the exact amount of bleaching powder used of required for the sterilization of given samples of water.…
