Is surgar burns in air to form water and carbon dioxide a chemical properties?

It is impossible to (really) burn suger (with fire or flames that is) to carbon dioxide. 'Burnt' sugar is an inhomogenous mixture of many (impure) polymerisation and degration products and even might contain carbon black.


What will happen if you will go on cutting trees for projects?

if we will go on cutting trees ,there will be no oxygen to live ultimately one day we will die .it will lead to the increase in the global temperature.it will lead to droughts,famine,water shortage ,soil erosion,land degration and finally one day life will be finished.


Is the plastic ruler thermo or thermo setting?

Thermoplastics can be shaped easily by being cooled and heated time and time again. They suffer little degration by the heating and cooling. They are solid at room temp. Thermoset on the other hand cannot be repeatedly heated and cooled. if you try to re heat they become chared and do not re soften.


How long does it take to heal scoliosis?

you cant heal it but you could possibly lessen the degree of curvature and slow down the degration with exercise a brace or a shoe lift/insert.They also do some surgeries but if your not too bad you probably dont want that i did have a surgery and it was worth it cause it really helped me my curve was 70 degrees now its in the 20s. i did were a brace for a few years but it didnt help me if yours gets to at least 45 i recomend surgery cause it really helps!


What is a cyclic hydrocarbon?

It is a ring formed carbon skeleton. The smallest possible cyclic hydrocarbon is cyclopropane (triangular C3H6) together with cyclobutane both being rather unstable (degration to linear propene and 1-butene). Five and six membered rings are quite common. The most 'famous' cyclic hydrocarbon is the aromatics-group of benzene, which is the cyclic 'honeycomb' formed 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene C6H6 (and derivatives).


Why is it so hard to run the 1500m under four minutes in the Decathlon?

It wouldn't be hard for a person who has trained for only distance running to achieve well under four minutes in a 1500 meter run. The reason it is such a challenge for decathletes is because the majority of events (namely the other nine events) focus on anaerobic respiration while distance running focuses on aerobic respiration. The manner in which you train your body can have significant impacts on how your body functions for these events. Also there is the whole decathlon energy saturation issue; this is the last event over the two day meet there is bound to be some performance degration.


What is going in this world?

Short, opinionated version: By historical standards, great. By contemporary standards, grim. Long, opinionated version: Perhaps you don't want a relative qualification: the world is vastly unequal in terms of power between nations and wealth of those nations' members. Billions of people live in abject poverty. Humankind consumes resources much faster than the earth can replenish them. Much of our material goods and even food use fossil fuel inputs. The rest of the world wants to live like Americans/Europeans, but frankly they cannot. The earth can barely support 600 million Western-style consumers. 6 billion Western-style consumers simply wouldn't fit. On the plus side, the lot of the world's poorest gets better every decade. Many people help: the wealth global north sends charity dollars, but more importantly economic development (i.e. sweatshops, imported unskilled labor) to the global south. And it's possible (perhaps even likely) that a combination of market forces, government intervention and raw necessity can combine to produce enough "green" technology to save us from a Malthusian apocalypse. At any rate, Westerners are rich enough to survive global warming or other forms of environmental degration; the world's poor might not fare so well.


How should windshield wipers be conditioned?

Most wiper blades should be replaced every 6-12 months for most vehicles in most locations.* This varies greatly depending on numerous factors as well as what your expectation of "acceptable performance" is. By looking at wiper replacement preventatively, conditioning is less necessary because you'll replace them before they get really bad.That said:1. Keep your windshield clean...the more you clean it, the better your wipers will perform and the longer they'll last.2. This will sound funny - don't tailgate. When you tailgate, more dirt is kicked up onto the windshield.3. Use any type of carsoap and water and rub along the lengths of the blades back and forth, removing dirt. You will hear others talk about using alcohol and I'm not a big fan of that. We're dealing with rubber here...4. Use glass treatment. Treated glass helps keep dirt from sticking to the glass, which helps your wiper performance. I recommend Aquapel Glass Treatment which lasts 4-6 months for one treatment.5. Store your vehicle inside and out of the sun as much as possible. The heat and ultraviolet rays break down the rubber and make it stiffen over time. The heat and sun are the number 1 causes of wiper degration.
