Answer to Problem 1.29UTC

Solution:

No, we cannot claim the shampoo as chemical free.

Explanation of Solution

All the ingredients present in the shampoo like water, cocamide, glycerin, and citric acid are chemicals. Chemicals are pure substances, which have the same chemical composition irrespective of its source.

It may be concluded that nothing is “chemical free”. However, we can say that shampoo is “synthetic chemical free” as the source of all the ingredients may be natural.
