1. When acetone dissolves the polymer, the gas present in the foaming agent is allowed to evaporate and is removed from the structure. The polymer becomes more compact and denser as the polymer collapses on itself due to the absence of the gas. 2a. Low density polyethylene(LDPE) is made from ethylene and has an increased amount in branched bonds when compared to HDPE. The Branched arrangement of LDPE results in weak intermolecular bonds within LDPE and results in lower tensile […]
1a) The connection between coal-fired plants and poor visibility is such that coal fired plants release huge amounts of water vapour along with the combustion process. Hence, water vapour when cooled in the forest area in the National Park becomes visible as fog, causing the poor visibility. b) The average pH of rain should be neutral at pH = 7. Therefore, since the average rainfall in Mammoth Cave National Park is 10 times more acidic than natural, the difference in […]
1) The two possibilities are water purification tablets and ultra-violet light water purifier. Comparing these two possibilities, both are similar in terms of their cost. Both methods are cost effective where water purification tablets are only sold for an estimated cost of (50 tablets for $6.20) and ultraviolet light water purification only requires the user to replace the lamp and sleeve of the purifier annually. However, both of these methods differ in their effectiveness. For the water purification tablets, it […]
Earth is not cooling rapidly due to the greenhouse effect. When sun’s radiation is incident on the Earth’s surface, some of it is absorbed and some of it is radiated back to the atmosphere. However, some of the leaving radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, and methane, retaining the heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect which hence explains why the earth isnt cooling rapidly despite more energy leaving the earth’s […]
1a. Exothermic. When charcoal burns, heat is released, hence its exothermic. 1b. Endothermic. When water molecules evaporate to form water vapour, water vapour contains more energy. Furthermore, the skin feels cool as temperature decreases when water evaporates, hence it is endothermic. 1c. Endothermic. Heat is absorbed when ice melts, forming water molecules in liquid state which contains higher energy. 2. For a good explosion, a large amount of energy should be released. Hence the reaction should be very exothermic. Therefore […]
