Concept explainers
The smallest building blocks inside your cell phone are about 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair fiber!
- a. What is a typical diameter of an individual hair fiber?
- b. Using the answer found in question a, how many hair-fiber widths would it take to span the length your cell phone?
(a)
Interpretation:
A typical diameter of an individual hair fiber has to be given.
Explanation of Solution
The diameter of hair fibre can vary in size but it is commonly taking as
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of hair-fibre widths would it take to span the length cell phone has to be given.
Explanation of Solution
The cell phone length is dividing by 1.mm to give the number of hair-fiber widths would it take to span the length cell phone.
Example:
There are

- 1) Despite the radical increase in the use of plastics over the last few decades, the mass of plastics at landfills stayed pretty much the same. Which statement explains this contradicting phenomenon? a) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because there are less plastic products on the market. b) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because the population is increasing. c) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because of light weighting, which reduces the mass of plastic in a container.arrow_forwardA 125mL flask and stopper have a mass of 79.310g.

You place 10 mL of each in a graduated cylinder, along with pieces of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, density = 0.97 g/cm3), polyvinyl chloride(PVC, density = 1.36 g/cm3), and Teflon (density = 2.3 g/cm3). None of these common plastics dissolves in these liquids. Describe what you expect to see.arrow_forwardExplain what is going on in these photos and explain the graphsarrow_forward
