Sugar
Sucrose, the white material we call sugar, is a molecule
made up of 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and
11 oxygen atoms (C12H22O11). Sugar, like other
molecules formed from these three components, is a
carbohydrate.

Toothpastes
are typically composed of the following ingredients:
water (20-40%), abrasives (50%) such as aluminum
hydroxide, calcium hydrogen phosphates, calcium
carbonate, silica, and hydroxyapatite. Fluoride
(typically 1450 ppm), mostly sodium fluoride.

Water
The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means
each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom
chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Thus,
water is a compound.

Salt
Salts are ionic substances in chemistry. Most people
associate salt with table salt, which is sodium chloride.
The ionic bonding of sodium ions and chloride ions
produces sodium chloride.

Laundry Detergents
Modern detergents typically contain medium-
strength STPP (sodium tripolyphosphate) as a well-
balanced, versatile builder. But, potent components
such as caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) or caustic
potash (potassium hydroxide) can also be found in
formulas.

Baking Powder
Baking powder is a compound composed of sodium
bicarbonate, various bicarbonates, and acid salts.
Baking powder is a leavening agent formed by the
reaction of an acid with an alkali. Tartrate, phosphate,
and sodium aluminum sulfate are the baking acids that
can be used alone or in combination.

Vinegar
Vinegar is made up of acetic acid (CH3COOH), water,
and trace quantities of additional compounds, such as
flavorings.

Soap
Most soap is currently made with sodium hydroxide as
the saponification alkali. As an alkali, soap may also be
made with potassium hydroxide (caustic potash).
Potassium soaps are more water soluble than sodium
soaps; in concentrated form, they are known as soft
soap.

Nail Polish Remover

In nail polish removers, solvents such as isopropyl
acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and n-methyl-
pyrrolidone are often utilized.

Alcohol
Ethanol and water are the main components of most
alcoholic beverages, although in some very sweet
liqueurs the sugar content can be higher than the
ethanol content. Ethanol (CAS Reg. No. 64–17–5) is
present in alcoholic beverages as a consequence of
the fermentation of carbohydrates with yeast.

THE USE OF THESE

PRODUCTS
1. Toothpaste: Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it is an abrasive that aids in removing dental plaque and
food from the teeth
2. Sugar: Although the main reason for the use of sugar is its sweet taste, sugar has many other functions in food
technology. The most important among these is that added sugar in foods acts as a sweetener
3. Water: Water can be used for direct and indirect purposes. Direct purposes include bathing, drinking, and cooking.
4. Salt: It flavors food and is used as a binder and stabilizer. It is also a food preservative, as bacteria can't thrive in the
presence of a high amount of salt.
5. Baking Powder: Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods.
6. Vinegar: It is used as a condiment to add flavor or as a preservative, as in pickling. Vinegar contributes acidic notes
to foods, both in aroma and taste.
7. Soap: Soap removes dirt and sweat from your body, leaving your skin feeling clean and refreshed.
8. Laundry Detergents: Laundry detergent is a powerful cleaning agent that can do a lot more than just clean your
clothes! Check out these other ways to put it to good use.
9. Nail Polish Remover: The most common use of nail polish remover is to take off polish from your nails.
10. Alcohol: Alcohol use involves drinking beer, wine, or hard liquor. ... Alcohol is one of the most widely used drug
substances in the world.

your compilation?
I identify it by giving out the name of the compound, its use,
and the formula that is in it.
2. Was it easy for you to identify? Why?
Yes, it was easy for me to identify because the compounds
that I presented are what I use on a daily basis.
3. How are these compounds used?
These compounds are widely used for human use. And
some of it are to be eaten and drinkable which is important
to the daily life of humans.
4. What safety precautions did you follow in handling the
substances?
I promptly cleaned my hands after taking the pictures in
case the chemicals I used were too hazardous. I promptly
removed my used jacket and washed it to prevent the
compound particles from spreading.
