Understanding Acids, Alkalis, Indicators, and the pH Scale

Solutions can be acidic, alkaline, or neutral depending on whether an acid or alkali is dissolved in water. Indicators like litmus and universal indicator help determine acidity or alkalinity. The pH scale measures this, with 7 being neutral. Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base re

Understanding Chemical Hair Relaxers: Thio vs. Hydroxide

Chemical hair relaxers like Thio and Hydroxide are common methods for straightening extremely curly hair. Thio relaxers use Ammonium Thioglycolate to break disulfide bonds, while Hydroxide relaxers contain strong alkalis that swell hair fibers. The process involves lanthionization and neutralization

Understanding Beta Pleated Sheet Structure in Proteins

Beta pleated sheet structure is a secondary structure found in proteins where peptide chains lie side by side to form a flat sheet held together by hydrogen bonds. Proteins like keratin and fibroin exhibit this structure, while denaturation can alter the secondary and tertiary structures of proteins
