What is the reaction of polystyrene and acetone?
The mixture of Polystyrene and Acetone results in the creation of a sticky residue as the Polystyrene beads dissolve into the Acetone. You can use Nail polish remover with Acetone. However, the chemical reaction occurs at a much more rapid pace with pure Acetone.
Why does fish oil dissolve polystyrene?
Fish oil contains compounds called hydrocarbons, which are known to have a solvent effect on polystyrene. When fish oil comes in contact with polystyrene, the hydrocarbons can break down the bonds holding the polystyrene together, causing it to dissolve.
Why do cookies dissolve in milk?
For something to dissolve the molecules have to interact. When the milk is hot its molecules are moving faster and they have more energy. This means: a/ The milk molecules are moving faster (on average) so they will move further each second and therefore bump into the sugar molecules more often. b/ The milk molecules are more likely to dissolve a sugar molecule when they bump into them. The reason for this is a bit complex and involves quantum mechanics but if we simplify a lot think of it as throwing marbles at a piece of polystyrene. If we throw a marble slowly it is likely to bounce off without damaging the polystyrene, if we throw a marble hard it is likely to chip off a bit of the polystyrene. Replace marble with milk and polystyrene with sugar and you have a simplified model.
What type of adhesive should be used for bonding materials to polystyrene, and what are the characteristics of a polystyrene compatible adhesive?
A solvent-based adhesive is recommended for bonding materials to polystyrene. A polystyrene compatible adhesive should have low viscosity, good wetting ability, and should not contain solvents that can dissolve or damage the polystyrene surface.
How do you make polystyrene paint from expanded polystyrene foam?
Dissolve foam in xylene to desired thickness. Let stand until fine bubbles disperse and turns clear.
Will sugar dissolve in air?
No, sugar will not dissolve in air. Substances dissolve in liquids, such as water, not in gases like air.
How does polystyrene dissolves in toluene?
Polystyrene dissolves in toluene due to its non-polar nature and the similar solubility parameters of both substances. The non-polar toluene molecules can penetrate the polystyrene chains, causing the polymer to swell and eventually dissolve.
Which will dissolve faster in liquids salt or sugar?
Sugar should dissolve faster in a liquid.
Why was methanol an appropriate solvent to precipitate polystyrene?
Methanol is used to force polystyrene OUT of solution. So the simple answer is: you can't. But, there is probably an extreme temperature or pressure that allows polystyrene to remain in solution with methanol present.
Why acetone melts styrofoam?
Acetone can dissolve styrofoam because it breaks down the structure of polystyrene, the main component of styrofoam. When acetone is in contact with styrofoam, it can weaken the bonds holding the polystyrene molecules together, causing the styrofoam to melt or dissolve.
What is the maximum amount of sugar that will dissolve in 100ml water?
204g of sugar is the maximum amount of sugar that will dissolve into 100mL of water.
Does coconut oil dissolve styrofoam?
Yes, coconut oil can dissolve Styrofoam, which is made of polystyrene. The hydrocarbons in coconut oil can break down the structure of polystyrene, causing it to dissolve. However, the process may take time and is not as effective as using stronger solvents like acetone or other organic solvents specifically designed for dissolving plastics.
