Conclusions 1. In the Handout introduction, you will find the balanced chemical equation for what happened when
the waving lotion (ammonium thioglycolate) was applied to the hair in Treatment #2. Below is the
unfinished equation for what happened when the neutralizer lotion (hydrogen peroxide) was applied.
Fill in the boxes to finish the equation. Hint: H2O2 gains hydrogen atoms to make two of the same
molecule. (2 marks)
