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.

allsm [11]

a. They are both normally found as gases in the atmosphere.  TRUE

That is correct, the oxygen and nitrogen are found in large quantities in the air around us.

b. They can be either liquids or gases. TRUE

Under certain temperatures any gas will transform into a liquid.

c.They turn from gas to liquid at the same temperature. FALSE

Oxygen it will pass into a liquid at -183 °C while nitrogen pass into a liquid at -195.8 °C.

d.They can be changed from gases to liquids by heating them. FALSE

The gases change to liquids by cooling them.

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 162. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w
puteri [66]

Answer:

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>

Explanation:

given that enthalpy of gaseous reactants decreases by 162KJ and workdone is -194KJ

then,

change in enthalpy (ΔH) = -162( released energy)

work(w) = -194KJ

change in enthalpy is said to be negative if the heat is evolved during the reaction while heat change(ΔH) is said to be positive if the heat required for the reaction occurs.

At constant pressure the change in enthalpy is given as

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

ΔU = change in energy

ΔV = change in volume

P = pressure

w =  -pΔV

therefore,

ΔH = ΔU -W

to evaluate  energy change we have,

ΔU =ΔH + W

ΔU = -162+ (-194KJ)

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>
