Polyester is a condensation polymer of dicarboxylic acid and diol. Example : Polethylene terphthalate is polymer of ethylene glycol and tere phthallic acid. When a strong acid like HCl or a strong base like NaOH comes in contact with polyester (like spilled on slacks) it causes hydrolysis of polyester and it get converted back to dicarboxylic and diol(the monomers). the general reaction will be RCOOR' ---> RCOOH + R'OH Thus slacks will get teared.

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​
yulyashka [42]
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

1.50μm2. Convert this to square meters.
mars1129 [50]
Based on the standards of units conversion, to convert from micrometer to meter, we multiply by 10^-6.
Since we there is a square (10^2) to consider, then to convert from micrometer squared to meter squared, we will multiply by (10^-6)^2 as follows:
1.5 <span>μm2 = 1.5 x (10^-6)^2 = 1.5 x 10^-12 meter sqaures</span>
