Why do "super glue" adhesives bond to skin?

Chemistry

DedPeter [7]4 years ago

They bond to skin because that was their original purpose - to act as an adhesive. 
Kisachek [45]4 years ago

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.

Describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

Hope this helps!

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

                        N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, N_{0} is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and t_{\frac{1}{2}} is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here N_{0}=4.60 mg, t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr and t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr

So,N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg

Which of the following molecules would you expect to have a dipole moment of zero? a,CH2 Ch3
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: The molecule CH_{3}-CH_{3} is expected to have a dipole moment of zero.

Explanation:

The product of magnitude of the charge calculated in electrostatic units is called dipole moment.

Formula for dipole moment is as follows.

Dipole moment = Charge (in esu) \times distance (in cm)

Non-polar molecules have zero dipole moment.

For example, CH_{3}-CH_{3} is a non-polar molecule so its dipole moment is zero.

H_{2}C=O is a polar molecule so it will have dipole moment.

CH_{2}Cl_{2} is a polar molecule so it will have dipole moment.

NH_{3} has nitrogen atom as more electronegative than hydrogen atom. So, net dipole moment will be in the direction of nitrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the molecule CH_{3}-CH_{3} is expected to have a dipole moment of zero.

What are Newton's three laws of motion? Are they correct?​
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

Of course Newton's three laws of motion are correct, because they were verified several hundred of years ago and they continue working today, for such systems. Science is accumulative. What modern physics has done is to constraint the range of validity of those laws.

Newtons first law of motion states that everybody continues in it rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force is applied on it.

Newtons second law of motion states that acceleration produced on a body by a force is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of body.

Newtons third law of motion states that to every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Hope it will be helpful :)
