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.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B) Stainless steel

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixture  -

It refers to the composition of various substance , which leads to a mixture of complete uniform composition , i.e. , the ratio of each and every component of the mixture is constant all over the mixture , is referred to as a homogeneous mixture.

For example ,

In the solution of sugar and water , where 1 tablespoon of sugar is dissolved in 100 mL of water ,

The ratio of sugar and water remains constant all over the mixture.

Hence, from the given options the homogeneous mixture is B) Stainless steel .
