How does fabric softener affect the flammability of different fabrics?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Karolina [17]4 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>

Melting is a type of chemical change.


<h3>Question #2:</h3>

True.

If the substance's atoms change in any way, it is a chemical change.


<h3>Question #3:</h3>

True.

If a substance is broken or torn, it's still the same substance. (Take tearing paper, for example)


<h3>Question #4:</h3>

False.

Take boiling water for example, when you boil water, it is still water, right?


<h3>Question #5:</h3>

False.

<em><u>Every</u></em> chemical or physical change in matter includes change in energy. <u><em>Not most.</em></u>


<h3>Question #6</h3>

True.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), has turned into water (H2O) and oxygen (O). The substance has change chemically, therefore it is an chemical change.

A _______ is a device used to measure the absorption or release of heat in chemical and physical processes
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: calorimeter.

A <u>calorimeter</u> is a device used to measure the absorption or release of heat in chemical and physical processes.

Explanation:

The word calor means heat in latin. So, the technique or science to measure the  transfered (absorbed or released) heat in a chemical or physical process is called calorimetry and the apparatus (device) used is named calorimeter.

The physical principle on which this science is based is the conservation of energy or first principle of thermodynamic.

Heat realeased by a component = heat absorbed by other component.
