Not so much a chemical equation, but really a mix of ingredients - a recipe really. They often consist of mildly abrasive powders, a detergent, and an antiseptic, a bleach/whitener, along with flavoring. Shamefully, some toothpastes featured sugar sweetening too (!!!!)

The chemical equation for elephant toothpaste, a foamy chemical reaction that involves hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst like potassium iodide, is typically represented as:
2 H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) → 2 H2O (water) + O2 (oxygen gas) + heat
I Don't Know :) But What I Do Know Is That Toothpaste Reacts With Your Mouth (not chemically) To Rebuild Enamel (maybe chemically) And Control bacteria (biologically and chemically) :)
Toothpaste is a mixture of different substances, you mean what they put in almost all brands of toothpaste? fluoride?
Toothpaste is a mixture and its composition varies depeding on the brand. Because of this, it does not have a chemical formula.
Yes, elephant toothpaste is hot when it is being created because it involves a chemical reaction that produces heat as a byproduct.
The elephant's toothpaste recipe for creating a foamy chemical reaction involves mixing hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and a catalyst like potassium iodide. This reaction produces oxygen gas, which creates the foamy eruption.
To create elephant toothpaste without yeast, the most effective way is to use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food coloring. This chemical reaction produces a foamy substance that resembles toothpaste.
To investigate the reaction that produces elephant toothpaste, a scientist could outline the materials needed, describe the procedure for creating the reaction, measure the resulting foam's volume, then analyze the chemical equation driving the reaction to draw conclusions. This would help determine how factors like the concentration of reactants or the presence of catalysts affect the foam's volume.
To make elephant toothpaste, you need hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, and yeast.
