Explain how the properties of ammonium lauryl sulfate make it useful for its intended purpose. Write a short paragraph.

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is a mild surfactant.

Explanation:

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant. A surfactant is a compound that helps in mixing the matters (solid, liquid, and gas) with one another. It functions by decreasing the surface tension between the two matters. Primarily they are used to mix water with oil. After getting mixed, they help in washing the dirt away.

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is a mild surfactant as compared to surfactant as compared to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in terms of irritation. It is used as one of the components in cosmetics and toiletry formulations. It acts as a surface mixing agent for foaming, wetting and dispersing.  

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
