Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The assumption that makes to publish the given report and the steps taken to the scenario discussed in the given publish have to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
The HDPE are composed of fewer branches that is they are closely approaching each other with increasing molecular attractions that makes it stronger than LDPE.
The LDPE is more highly branched in which the molecular attractions will be less between the chains that makes the polymer to be softer and easily deformed.

- Activity 2. Answer the following questions a. How long does it take an iron nail exposed to the rain to rust?______________________________________________________________________________ b. Compare the rusting of iron to how fast milk curdles when an acid like vinegar or calamansi juice is added to it. (Try doing this at home if you have milk, vinegar or calamasi juice.) ______________________________________________________________________________ c. Do you think you could light a log with a single matchstick? How about twigs or smaller pieces of wood? ______________________________________________________________________________ d. Why do we keep food in the refrigerator? ______________________________________________________________________________ e. How do particles move at high temperatures compared at low temperatures? __________________________________________________________________________arrow_forwardTRUE LIES: There are many misconceptions regarding fire. A person must equip himself with factualinformation to guarantee safety. Not all shared information is true. So, can you spot them?Direction: Below are statements about basic information on fire. On your answer sheet, write TRUE if thestatement expresses a correct idea, otherwise write LIE.4. Fire is a thing, not an event.5. Assuming stable fuel, heat, and oxygen levels, a typical house fire is constant in size every minute until the firedies down.6. Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn.7. Water can be produced by fire.8. Using concentrated sunlight, ancient Greeks were able to start fire. A parabolic mirror that focuses solar rays isstill used to ignite the Olympic torch.9. Among the stages of fire, the last stage which is the “decay stage” takes the longest time to finish.10.All fire extinguishers are multipurpose, meaning each one can put out all types of fire caused by any material.NOTE: JUST THE ANSWER ONLY NO…arrow_forwardpart 1 Which of the following is FALSE regarding water treatment? Disinfection is carried out using radiation or chemical agents. Settling of floc during sedimentation is always a chemical process.

- SUBJECT : GENERAL CHEMISTRY TOPIC : THERMAL RUNAWAY 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of current safety measures used in the production and disposal of electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries. Suggest alternative measures or improvements that could reduce the risk of thermal runaway. 2. Propose a research question related to thermal runaway in electronic devices. Describe how to conduct this investigation or study this research question. 3. Imagine a scenario where a thermal runaway event occurred in a crowded public space. Evaluate the potential hazards and risks, and propose strategies to mitigate them.arrow_forwardwhat are the predicted CO2 emissions in 2050 if we stay on the current policy trajectory?

- Activity C 2 Write your answer in a clean paper.arrow_forward5. The goal is to convince an investor to invest in your company so that you can build a factory to make ester compounds. For example, you could make hexyl pentanoate, and sell it for use in perfumes and make the investor money. You must come up with a compound that you can make and sell. You can use your textbooks and the internet as resources. At the end of your research, you must have the compound table filled out.arrow_forwardThe goal is to convince an investor to invest in your company so that you can build a factory to make ester compounds.

- 1. The higher the value of chemical oxygen demand indicates the higher organic pollution in the water sample. A. True B. False 2. COD measures the total amount of O2 needed to oxidize all organic matter into CO2 and water. A. True B. Falsearrow_forwardEnd-of-the-Pipe Control versus Pollution Prevention The marginal cost of reduction curve illustrated in Figure 4.5 assumes a particular approach to reducing pollution, often called end-of-the-pipe control. In other words, when we draw that upward-sloping MC curve, we assume that firms respond to regulation by maintaining the same basic production technology but adding on scrubbers or filters to clean up their emissions. Under these conditions, rising marginal costs of reduction are quite likely. However, suppose that firms radically overhaul their production technology, so that they completely eliminate emissions. This is known as a “pollution prevention” strategy. An example might be a jeweler, who in the face of regulation adopts a closed-loop production system. This is one in which all mineral waste products are recovered from recycled wastewater and then reused. What would the marginal cost of reduction diagram look like in this case? a. Specifically, assume that…arrow_forwardWe were given an activity about observing 2 balloons. 1 balloon is in the basin with cold water and the other balloon is in the basin with hot water we were task to observe it after 1 minute and after 3 minutes and wrote our observation which is the balloon in the basin with hot water expanded and the balloon in the basin with cold water shrunk. The question is how would we apply our learning on this activity in real life?arrow_forward
