Elicit (Review of the past lesson)
Last meeting, we discussed regarding energy sources.
Questions:
1.What are those sources?
Answer: Fossil fuels, biogas, geothermal, hydrothermal, batteries, solar cells, biomass.
2. How energy is harnessed from fossil fuels, biogas, geothermal, hydrothermal,
batteries, solar cells, biomass.?
Answer. Fossil fuels-buried organic matter produces coal, oil, and natural gas.
Biogas- animal manure produces methane which generates heat and electricity.
Geothermal- heat from the earth produces steam and generate electricity.
Hydrothermal- heat from seawater evaporates, drives turbines, and generate electricity.
Solar-elemental silicon converts sunlight into electricity.
Batteries-device that store and convert chemical energy into electricity.
Biomass-organic matter are burnt, generate.

b. sulfuric acid d. sodium hypochlorite
4. Which can be found in the product labels of drain cleaners?
a. sodium hydroxide c. sulfonates
b. sodium hypochlorite d. alcohols
5. Which of the following is always true about active ingredients?

Engage (Get the students’ minds focused on the topic (short question or picture)
Do you help in doing household chores? I bet it is a “Yes”. While helping in doing some
tasks that require cleaning, what products do you use at home? Have you tried using
products like detergents, bleach, or disinfectant? Do you have time reading the labels
before applying these?
In this lesson, you will observe the chemistry of household cleaning products. You will
know how these products that you may have used can guarantee cleanliness
in your home.
A. Scouring cleaner
B. Stain remover
C. Bathroom cleaner
D. Surface cleaner
E. Disinfectant
Explain (Teach the concept. Should include interaction between teacher and
students)
Cleaning products contain substances that remove dirt, stain, and bad smell. There
are a number of cleaning products, and some of them are used to clean surfaces such as
bathroom tiles, floors, sinks, and drains. Others are used to clean clothing, blankets, and
curtains.
Moreover, they contain substances that are classified either as active or inactive
ingredients. Active ingredients are substances that directly help in achieving the
performance objective of a certain product while inactive ingredients include
fragrance and solvents.
Below are examples of cleaning products and their respective active ingredients.
1. Detergent
Detergent contains surfactant, which
are substances with cleaning properties. The
most common surfactants are sodium alkyl,
benzyl sulfonates, and carboxylates. These
specific active ingredients have long water-insoluble
hydrocarbon tail and water-soluble
polar heads. When a group of surfactants
molecules are placed in water, they form micelles.
They orient themselves with the hydrocarbon
tails, sticking to one another while the polar
heads are pointing outwards and into the water.
2. Bleach
This is a household cleaning product used to remove dyes and whiten clothing. The color
that stains white fabrics typically arise from organic dyes and pigments. For example,
when ballpen ink spills on your white uniform, the ink pigment binds with the fabric.
4. Disinfectant
Disinfectant is used to lessen microbes on
surfaces but not clean them. It is usually used to
disinfects door handles, tables, toilets and bathroom
surfaces because it can kill disease-causing
microorganisms called pathogens such as salmonella
and staphylococci bacteria. Most disinfectants, such
as alcohol and chlorine, work by denaturing proteins
of microorganisms. When this happens, the
metabolism of microorganisms is disrupted, causing
death.
Remember that all products have an active ingredient that enables it to work.
Some may even have two or more active ingredients. Here are some important
pointers in determining the active ingredient:
1. It can be seen in the labels of consumer products.
2. It can be classified as acidic, basic, or neutral.
3. The determination of its acidity or basicity will dictate how the product will
work.
It is very important to know the active ingredient in certain products because
it will tell you what function they can serve. In addition, knowing this kind of
ingredient can at least make consumers aware and cautious of the toxicity of the
product.
Evaluate ((How will you know the students have learned the concept)
Direction: Read the following questions carefully. Write only the letter of the correct
answer on your activity notebook.
1. It is the functional ingredient of a household product.
a. Active Ingredients c. Secret Ingredients
b. Inactive Ingredients d. Enhancing Ingredients
2. Which of the following form micelles when placed in water?
a. bleach c. drain cleaner
b. detergent d. disinfectant
3. How does disinfectant work?
a. It cleans a wide variety of surfaces. c. It freshens and purifies the air.
b. It kills microorganisms. d. It gets rid of undesired pigments.
4.
a. Because it is a general rule so it must be followed.
b. Because it tells consumers how it will work.
c. Because it makes the product appear original and effective.
d. Because it provides consumers with an estimation of how much it costs.
5. Which of the following is always true about active ingredients?
a. They are the cause of the health risks of products.
b. They constitute a large percentage of the product.
c. They are more hazardous than inactive ingredients.
d. They dictate the efficacy of the product for its intended purpose.
