Determination of Contents of Cold Drinks
*Introduction* The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but the industrialization in
India marked its beginning with launching of Limca and Goldspot by parley group
of companies. Since, the beginning of cold drinks was highly profitable and lur
ing, many multinational companies launched their brands in India like Pepsi and
Coke. Now days, it is observed in general that majority of people viewed Sprite,
Fanta and Limca to give feeling of lightness, while Pepsi and Thumps Up to acti
vate pulse and brain.

r samples of cold drinks taken, Sprite has the maximum amount of dissolved carbo
n dioxide and Fanta has the minimum amount of dissolved carbon dioxide. *Precaut
ions* Some of the precautions which need to be taken care of are
1. Concentrated solutions should be handled with immense care.
2. Hands should be washed thoroughly after performing each experiment. 3. If pos
sible, one should wear hand gloves to prevent from any possible damage. 4. If ch
emicals come into contact with your skin or eyes, flush immediately with copious
amounts of water. 5. Never leave burners unattended. Turn them off whenever you
leave your workstation. 6. Never point a test tube or any vessel that you are h
eating at yourself or your neighbour. *Conclusion* DIS-ADVANTAGES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Soft drinks are little more harmful than sugar solution. As they contain sug
ar in large amount which cause problems in diabetes patients.
2. Soft drinks can cause weight gain as they interfere with the bodys natural abi
lity to suppress hunger feeling. 3. Soft drinks have ability to dissolve the cal
cium so they are also harmful for our bones. 4. Soft drinks contain phosphoric ac
id which has a pH of 2.8. So they can dissolve a nail in about 4 days. 5. For tra
nsportation of soft drinks syrup the commercial truck must use the hazardous mat
ter place cards reserved for highly consive material. 6. Soft drinks have also a
bility to remove blood so they are very harmful to our body. USES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Cold drinks can be used as toilet cleaners. 2. They can remove rust spots fr
om chrome car humpers. 3. They clean corrosion from car battery terminals. 4. So
ft drinks are used as an excellent detergent to remove grease from clothes. 5. The
y can loose a rusted bolt.
Adulterants in Food
TfflDRy The increasing number of food producers and the outstanding amount of im
port foodstuffs enables the producers to mislead and cheat consumers. To differe
ntiate those who take advantage of legal rules from the ones who commit food adu
lteration is very difficult. The consciousness of consumers would be crucial. Ig
norance and unfair market behavior may endanger consumer health and misleading c
an lead to poisoning. So we need simple screening, tests for their detection. In
the past few decades, adulteration of food has become one of the serious proble
ms. Consumption of adulterated food causes serious diseases like cancer, .diarrh
oea., , .asthma., .ulcers., etc. Majority of fats, oils and butter are paraffin
wax, castor oil and hydrocarbons. Red chilli powder is mixed with brick powder a
nd pepper is mixed with dried papaya seeds. These adulterants can be easily iden
tified by simple chemical tests. Several agencies .have been set up by the Gover
nment of India to remove adulterants from food stuffs. AGMARK acronym for agricu

Sodium Carbonate when added to hard water reacts with Ca and Mg and precipitates
them out. Therefore sodium carbonate is used in the treatment of hard water. Th
is project aims at finding the foaming capacity of various soaps and the action
of Ca and Mg salts on their foaming capacity. Introduction Soap is an anionic su
rfactant used in conjunction with water for washing and cleaning, which historic
ally comes either in solid bars or in the form of a viscous liquid. Soap consist
s of sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids and is obtained by reacting common
oils or fats with a strong alkaline in a process known as saponification. The f
ats are hydrolyzed by the base, yielding alkali salts of fatty acids (crude soap
) and glycerol. The general formula of soap is Fatty end water soluble end
CH3-(CH2) n COONa
Soaps are useful for cleaning because soap molecules have both a hydrophilic end
, which dissolves in water, as well as a hydrophobic end, which is able to disso
lve non polar grease molecules. Applied to a soiled surface, soapy water effecti
vely holds particles in colloidal suspension so it can be rinsed off with clean
water. The hydrophobic portion (made up of a long hydrocarbon chain) dissolves d
irt and oils, while the ionic end dissolves in water. The resultant forms a roun
d structure called micelle. Therefore, it allows water to remove normallyinsolub
le matter by emulsification.
Commercial production of soap
The most popular soap making process today is the cold process method, where fat
s such as olive oil react with strong alkaline solution, while some soapers use
the historical hot process. Handmade soap differs from industrial soap in that,
usually, an excess of fat is sometimes used to consume the alkali (super fatting
), and in that the glycerin is not removed, leaving a naturally moisturizing soa
p and not pure detergent. Often, emollients such as jojoba oil or Shea butter ar
e added at trace (the point at which the saponification process is sufficiently ad
vanced that the soap has begun to thicken), after most of the oils have saponifi
ed, so that they remain unreacted in the finished soap.
Fat in soap
Soap is derived from either vegetable or animal fats. Sodium Tallowate, a common
ingredient in much soap, is derived from rendered beef fat. Soap can also be ma
de of vegetable oils, such as palm oil, and the product is typically softer.
An array of saponifiable oils and fats are used in the process such as olive, co
conut, palm, cocoa butter to provide different qualities. For example, olive oil
provides mildness in soap; coconut oil provides lots of lather; while coconut a
nd palm oils provide hardness. Sometimes castor oil can also be used as an ebull
ient. Smaller amounts of unsaponifable oils and fats that do not yield soap are
sometimes added for further benefits.
Preparation of soap
In cold-process and hot-process soap making, heat may be required for saponifica
tion. Cold-process soap making takes place at a sufficient temperature to ensure
the liquification of the fat being used. Unlike cold-processed soap, hot-proces
sed soap can be used right away because the alkali and fat saponify more quickly
at the higher temperatures used in hot-process soap making. Hot-process soap ma
king was used when the purity of alkali was unreliable. Cold-process soap making
requires exact measurements of alkali and fat amounts and computing their ratio
, using saponification charts to ensure that the finished product is mild and sk
infriendly. Hot process In the hot-process method, alkali and fat are boiled tog
ether at 80100 C until saponification occurs, which the soap maker can determine b
y taste or by eye. After saponification has occurred, the soap is sometimes prec
ipitated from the solution by adding salt, and the excess liquid drained off. Th
e hot, soft soap is then spooned into a mold. Cold process A cold-process soap m
aker first looks up the saponification value of the fats being used on a saponif
ication chart, which is then used to calculate the appropriate amount of alkali.
Excess unreacted alkali in the soap will result in a very high pH and can burn
or irritate skin. Not enough alkali and the soap are greasy. The alkali is disso
lved in water. Then oils are heated, or melted if they are solid at room tempera
ture. Once both substances have cooled to approximately 100-110F (37-43C), and are
no more than 10F (~5.5C) apart, they may be combined. This alkali-fat mixture is
stirred until trace. There are varying levels of trace. After much stirring, the m
ixture turns to the consistency of a thin pudding. Trace corresponds roughly to vi
scosity. Essential and fragrance oils are added at light trace. Introduction to
the experiment
Soap samples of various brands are taken and their foaming capacity is noticed.
Various soap samples are taken separately and their foaming capacity is observed
. The soap with the maximum foaming capacity is thus, said to be having the best
cleaning capacity. The test requires to be done with distilled water as well as
with tap water. The test of soap on distilled water gives the actual strength o
f the soaps cleaning capacity. The second test with tap water tests the effect o
f Ca2+ and Mg2+ salts on their foaming capacities. Objective: To compare the foa
ming capacity of various soaps. Theory: The foaming capacity of soap depends upo
n the nature of the soap and its concentration. This may be compared by shaking
equal volumes of solutions of different samples having the same concentration wi
th same force for the same amount of time. The solutions are then allowed to sta
nd when the foam produced during shaking disappears gradually. The time taken fo
r the foam to disappear in each sample is determined. The longer the time taken
for the disappearance of the foam for the given sample of soap, greater is its f
oaming capacity or cleansing action. Requirements: Five 100ml conical flasks, fi
ve test tubes, 100ml measuring cylinder, test tube stand, weighing machine, stop
watch. Chemical Requirements: Five different soap samples, distilled water, tap
water. Procedure: 1. Take five 100ml conical flasks and number them 1, and add
8 Gms of soap. 2. Warm the contents to get a solution. 3. Take five test tubes;
add 1ml of soap solution to 3ml of water. Repeat the process for each soap solut
ion in different test tubes. 4. Close the mouth of the test tube and shake vigor
ously for a minute. Do the same for all test tubes and with equal force. 5. Star
t the timer immediately and notice the rate of disappearance of 2mm of froth. Ob
servations: The following outcomes were noticed at the end of the experiment
