Slime flows like a liquid, but unlike familiar liquids (e.g., oil, water), its ability to flow, or viscosity, is not constant. So it's a fluid, but not a regular liquid. Scientists call a material that changes viscosity a non-Newtonian fluid. The technical explanation is that slime is a fluid that changes its ability to resist deformation according to shear or tensile stress.

What this means is, when you pour slime or let it ooze through your fingers, it has a low viscosity and flows like a thick liquid. When you squeeze a non-Newtonian slime, like oobleck, or pound it with your fist, it feels hard, like a wet solid. This is because applying stress squeezes the particles in the slime together, making it hard for them to slide against each other.

Most types of slime are also examples of polymers. Polymers are molecules made by linking together chains of subunits.


The specifics of how a type of slime works depends on its chemical composition, but the basic explanation is that chemicals are mixed to form polymers. The polymers act as a net, with molecules sliding against each other.


Two solutions are combined to make classic slime. One is diluted school glue, or polyvinyl alcohol in water. The other solution is borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) in water.
Borax dissolves in water into sodium ions, Na+, and tetraborate ions.
The tetraborate ions react with water to produce the OH- ion and boric acid:
B4O72-(aq) + 7 H2O <—> 4 H3BO3(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Boric acid reacts with water to form borate ions:
H3BO3(aq) + 2 H2O <— > B(OH)4-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Hydrogen bonds form between the borate ion and the OH groups of the polyvinyl alcohol molecules from the glue, linking them together to form a new polymer: slime.

kondor19780726 [428]

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

             \frac{1 g}{1000 mg} or \frac{1000 mg}{1 g}

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

If a sample contains 21.2g N how many moles of N does it contain
tigry1 [53]

Hey there!

The molar mass of nitrogen is 14.007.

Convert grams to moles:

21.2 ÷ 14.007 = 1.51

The sample containing 21.2g of nitrogen contains 1.51 moles of nitrogen.

Hope this helps!

How many moles of neon atoms are there in a neon sign that has 2.4 * 20^ 24 atoms of neon? *
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

4 moles of neon

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of neon = ?

Number of atoms of neon = 2.4×10²⁴ atoms

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For given neon atoms:

1 mol =  6.022 × 10²³ atoms

2.4×10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.4×10¹ mol = 4 mol
