How does fabric softener affect the flammability of different fabrics?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Karolina [17]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Research shows that fabric softeners decrease flame resistance. The flame resistance of a fabric can be increased in a variety of ways. Most often, the fabric is treated with special flame resistant chemicals. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, are naturally flame resistant. These fabrics have a property called thermoplasticity, where the fabric naturally melts and shrinks when exposed to flame. This prevents these fabrics from igniting and burning as easily as other fabrics. Basic properties of a fabric, such as porosity, can also influence flame resistance. Larger pores allow for oxygen to be more present in the fabric, making it more flammable.</span>

How many moles are in 7.1x10^21 atoms of iron?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

0.011 moles

Explanation:

There are about 6.02*10^23 atoms in a mole, so in the given sample, there are

\frac{7.01 \times  {10}^{21} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }

which is about 0.011 moles.

5. How much heat (in calories) is absorbed by a reaction when
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1.2 × 10⁴ cal

Explanation:

Given data

  • Mass of water (m): 300 g
  • Initial temperature: 80 °C
  • Final temperature: 40°C

We can calculate the heat released by the water (Q_w) when it cools using the following expression.

Q_w = c \times m \times (T_f - T_i)

where

c is the specific heat capacity of water (1 cal/g.°C)

Q_w = \frac{1cal}{g.\°C}  \times 300g \times (40\°C - 80\°C) = -1.2 \times 10^{4} cal

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the water (Q_w) and the heat absorbed by the reaction (Q_r) is zero.

Q_w + Q_r = 0\\Q_r = -Q_w = 1.2 \times 10^{4} cal

A scientist measures out equal volumes and concentrations of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions. When mixed, these
olasank [31]

Answer:

Neutral solution is formed.

Explanation:

When the hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide which is a strong base are combined together, it produces sodium chloride which is a salt and water. This solution is known as Neutral solution because the solution do not have the characteristics or properties of either an acid or a base. If the concentration of one of the reactant is higher as compared to another reactant so the product has the characteristics of that reactant.
