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>

Name some ways of water irrigation. ​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Surface Irrigation. Water is scattered equally throughout the land with the help of gravitational pull and it doesn’t require a machine to take care of it.

Localized Irrigation. Water is scattered throughout the land under low pressure.  

Drip Irrigation. In this process of drip irrigation, the water drops fall on the root of every plant that is around the system.

True [87]

Answer:

Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific region. However, a hurricane caused six fish from an aquarium to accidentally be swept out into the Atlantic Ocean. Female lionfish produce thousands of eggs at a time, which has allowed their population to rapidly increase in the Atlantic. There’s no firm estimate of the number of lionfish in the Atlantic Ocean right now. However, it might be as many as 375 to 1,000 lionfish per acre of ocean. These fish have predators such as sharks and scorpion fish in their natural habitat. However, they don’t have many natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean, where the typical predatory animals don’t seem to recognize lionfish as food. Their one predator is humans, who have recently started fishing them for food. In the Atlantic Ocean, algae and seaweed are producers. Small fish, crabs, and other crustaceans make up the first and secondary consumers. Sharks and orcas are some of the larger predators, which are also consumers. Bacteria and fungi are the decomposers that break down food. Lionfish are consumers because they eat fish and small crustaceans.
