gum is made up of billions of long molicule chains called polymers. in a normall state, the polymers curl like a spring. when stretched, the "springs' unwind. when they are cold, the polymers wind up tighter and loose most of their elastisity
yes! I just tried 2 pieces of mint gum with a piece of chocolate and I ended with a mushy gum and a strange stluguish choc-mint mess that swallow thinking it was only the choc part :/
Gum is insoluble in water and also resists breakdown by the mouth's enzymes.As the name implies.........it's gum. From my experience, touching gum or sap of tree is very thick and sticky. Tis just like chewing on rubber band...it never seems to go away or finish.it's somewhat stubborn. the only difference between the sap/gum of a tree and a chewing gum is that the latter has sweetners and flavours which quickly fade away while we keep on chewing and chewing.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
Salt and Sugar dissolve in water.
Yes, hydrophilic substances dissolve in water. Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water molecules due to their polar nature, allowing them to form bonds with water and dissolve in it. This is in contrast to hydrophobic substances, which repel water and do not dissolve in it.
the gum contains sodium bisulfite which the water cant dissolve
Make a thick paste with baking soda and water, and smooth it over the gum.
No, gum does not dissolve in your stomach. It passes through your digestive system without being broken down.
Many solvents will dissolve gum, but they will also usually stain whatever you use them on. The mildest is vegetable oil, which can dissolve or loosen some types of gum. Naphtha, methanol, acetone, and urea products will also dissolve some types of gum. The easiest way to remove most gum (from hair, fabrics) is using ice to harden it, so that it can be flaked off the surface.

Yep
Use a paper towel dipped in creamy peanut butter and massage it into the gum. It should dissolve the gum enough that it rubs off.
Gum typically does not dissolve in the stomach and can pass through the digestive system without harm. It usually takes a few days to be excreted. Swallowing gum occasionally is generally safe, but it is not recommended as a regular practice.

No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
No, but salt does dissolve in water.
