A student asks a class the following question, “Polyethylene has a relatively short formula (C2H4) while nylon has a long formul

a (C12H22N2O2). However, in a toothbrush, the handle is relatively long while the bristles are relatively short. How is this possible?”
Choose the explanation below that best responds to the student’s question.


A
Molecules are so small that they cannot be seen with a naked eye. Therefore, being a slightly bigger molecule on that scale will not influence how big the part of the toothbrush is.

B
In a toothbrush, the polyethylene chain is most likely a longer chain of molecules than the nylon chain, making the handle longer than the bristles.

C
Polyethylene is used for the bristles and nylon is used for the handle, because the size of the molecule does determine the size of the object being built by the molecules.

D
Polyethylene has a short formula, but it makes a long chain. Nylon has a long formula, but it is fat, not long. That is why the nylon bristles are short while the handle is long and thin.

Waves move fastest in low-temperature gases. low-temperature solids. high-temperature gases. high-temperature solids.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

At high temperature, there will be more collision between the molecules as a result more energy will generate. Thus, a wave can move quickly.

In case of solids, the particles are held more closely with each other. Therefore, when temperature is high then solid particles being closer can pass on the energy more quickly as compared to gases.

Thus, we can conclude that waves move fastest in high-temperature solids.

The daily value for phosphorus is a 700 mg how many grams of phosphorus are recommended​
-BARSIC- [3]

The amount of grams of phosphorus that are recommended is 0.700 g

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. To convert between units we use conversion factors. In this case the conversion factor we want is from mg to g, and this is relatively simple: 1000 mg = 1 g. Now, we arrange the quantities in the following way:

700 mg P*\frac{1g}{1000mg}=0.700 g

Conversion factors are really useful for converting units! Just remember to put the unit you don't want at the bottom, and the one you want at the top.

Have a nice day!

1. If 20 moles of HCl was placed in 40 liters of an
anastassius [24]

Answer:

A) 0.50 M

Explanation:

The computation of the number of molarity of the NaOH is given below:

As we know that

Molarity = Moles ÷ liters

where

Moles is 20

And, the liters is 40

So, the molarity is

= 20 ÷ 40

= 0.50 M

hence, the molarity of the NaOH  solution is 0.50 M

Therefore the A option is correct
