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.

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C  

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,    

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q

<u>For water:  </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L  

So, mass of the water:  

Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}  

Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}  

Mass of water  = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C  

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:  

Q = 500 kcal

So,

50\times 1\times \Delta T=500  

ΔT = 10°C  

Increase in temperature = 10°C

The best way seperate salt fron wateris with the use of
ExtremeBDS [4]

You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid. So, I would say maybe oil.

Identify the units used to measure volume mass.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The metric system uses units such as meter, liter, and gram to measure length, liquid volume, and mass, just as the U.S. customary system uses feet, quarts, and ounces to measure these.

Volume: 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart

Mass: 1 kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds

Length: 1 centimeter is a little less than half an

HELP PLEASE! :( 
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Part 1: W = 116 Y = 163

Part 2: Since 232 is the mailing point of 2 kg then you would divide 232 by 2 to get the melting point for 1 kg, the same with Y.
