Does hydroquinone causes cancer?
hydroquinone has NOT been directly linked to Cancer in humans only to mice but has a side-effect on humans as it causes pigmentation of the eye and permanent corneal damage. Being a metabolite of benzene, hydroquinone has potential mutagenic properties and alterations to DNA. Most skin-whitening serums and creams currently available contain 2% hydroquinone.
What is the chemical equation for Hydroquinone?
The chemical equation for hydroquinone is C6H6O2.
Is the skin care acid or alkaline?
acidic for instance: Alpha-Lipoic Acid (anti-aging, protection against free radicals), L-Ascorbic Acid, Hydroquinone (used to lighten hyperpigmentation), Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs, side effect mild irritation and sun sensitivity), Beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol)(present in salmon and sardines, boosting the production of acetylcholine), Kojic Acid (similar effect as hydroquinone, if you are allergic to hydroquinone you can use Kojic Acid)...
What is the equation for the formation of benzoquinone?
The formation of benzoquinone involves the oxidation of hydroquinone. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: C6H6O2 (hydroquinone) + O2 → C6H4O2 (benzoquinone) + H2O.
Is the skin alkaline or acidic?

How do you separate mono-methyl hydroquinone ether from methyl methacrylate?
One way to separate mono-methyl hydroquinone ether from methyl methacrylate is through fractional distillation since they have different boiling points. Mono-methyl hydroquinone ether has a higher boiling point compared to methyl methacrylate, allowing for separation based on their boiling points. Additionally, solvent extraction or chromatography techniques can also be employed for separation based on their solubility differences.
