Why do "super glue" adhesives bond to skin?

Chemistry

They bond to skin because that was their original purpose - to act as an adhesive.

It bonds to skin because
solid polymer requires the presence of water to get things started, be it in the air or on your skin. Without a little moisture, SuperGlue can't bond anything. This explains why the glue is so good at sticking fingers together.

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C what would be the new volume at 20°C? 7.9 L Ob 9.8 L 10.2 L 10.6 L
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  9.4 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

V₁ = 10.0 L

T₁ = 25°C = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

 P₁ = 98.7 Kpa

 T₂ = 20°C = 20 + 273.15 K = 293.15 K

  P₂ = 102.7 KPa

  V₂ = ?

2) Formula:

Used combined law of gases:

  PV / T = constant

  P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

3) Solution:

Solve the equation for V₂:

  V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

Substitute and compuite:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

V₂ = 98.7 KPa × 10.0 L × 293.15 K / (102.7 KPa × 298.15 K)

V₂ =  9.4 liter ← answer

According to the quantum-mechanical model for the hydrogen atom, which electron transition produces light with the longer wavele
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main task here is that there are some missing gaps in the above question that needs to be filled with the appropriate answers. So, we are just going to do rewrite the answer below as we indicate the missing gaps by underlining them and making them in bold format.

SO; In the quantum-mechanical model of the hydrogen atom.

As the n level increases. the energy <u>increases</u> and thus levels are <u>closer to </u>each other. Therefore, the transition <u>3p→2s</u> would have a greater energy difference than the transition from <u>4p→3p.</u>

Energy \  and \  wavelength  \ are \  inversely \   proportional , \  so \  the \ \mathbf{ 4p\to 3p} \ transition  \ wouldproduce  \ a  \ longer \ wavelength.

How many major reservoirs does carbon move between?<br> A. 3<br> B. 4<br> C. 5<br> D. 2
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>Carbon can also bond with other four atoms because of its outer shell (valence shell) that has four electrons. This is the reason why organic molecules can be so large because of this bonding. Suppose you have a compound of CCl4. You know that chlorine can only share 1 electron because 7 of its electrons are filled. Also, in carbon, it can only share 4 electrons because 4 of it are already filled. That is why carbon needs four chlorine to form CCl4. The answer is letter <u>B.</u></span>

The earth formed 4600 million years ago. What percentage of the Earth’s age has the atmosphere been its current composition
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 4.35%

Explanation:

Scientists estimate that the current composition of gases in the Earth's atmosphere has been stable for the last 200 million years or so.

If the Earth was formed 4,600 million years ago then the percentage of her age that the atmosphere has been in its composition is:

= 200 / 4,600 * 100%

= 4.35%
