Air fresheners work by releasing fragrances into the air that overpower or eliminate bad odors, providing a more pleasant smell. Some air fresheners also contain chemicals that neutralize odors by binding to odor molecules and changing their chemical structure. Additionally, some air fresheners contain antimicrobial agents that can help reduce the number of odor-causing bacteria in the air.

Is carpet freshner a base or acid?

Carpet fresheners are typically neutral or slightly acidic in nature. This helps to neutralize and eliminate odors rather than being a base.


How do balloon rockets work?

Balloon rockets work by utilizing the principle of action and reaction. When air is released from the balloon, it creates a force that propels the balloon in the opposite direction. The escaping air creates thrust, pushing the balloon in the direction opposite to the airflow.


How does activated charcoal work to purify the air?

Activated charcoal works to purify the air by adsorbing (not absorbing) harmful gases and odors. The porous structure of activated charcoal traps these pollutants, allowing clean air to pass through.


What is the technical reason for deterioration in performance of a gas turbine when the ambient temperature rises?

As the surrounding/ambient temperature increases, the temp of air entering the air compressor increases which means that the it's specific volume of air increases. Since the work of compressor = delta pressure x specific volume of air, then as the specific volume of air increases the work input of compressor increases and this is a problem because the total out put power of the turbine = work of the turbine - work of the compressor, so as the work of compressor increases, the total out put work of the gas turbine decreases. And that's why the efficiency of gas turbine is better in winter than in summer.


Many solid air freshers work by releasing particles into the air which change of state is this an example of?

This is an example of sublimation, where a solid material transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In the case of air fresheners, the solid particles evaporate into the air to disperse the fragrance.
