Paper is mostly cellulose strands since it is made from wood or cotton most of the time. Cellulose is a long polymer of glucose, a sugar, that is composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. The exothermic chemical reaction, fire, releases the carbon in up to three forms: elemental carbon, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Meanwhile, the hydrogen combines with any available alcohol group (OH) from the sugar to form water (dihydro-monoxide), a very stable compound. Of course, this perfect picture is complicated by any print or colored inks on that paper which may contain sulfur and by the nitrogen-rich medium in which the chemical reactions happen: air. Here stable nitrogen-oxygen and to a lesser extent nitrogen-hydrogen compounds of nitrogen oxide(NO2 and NO) and ammonia(NH4) respectively may form.
Wax paper is less dense than water, which causes it to float. The wax coating on the paper also helps to repel water, making it more buoyant.
The colorless and reactive gas produced when fuels such as coal and oil are burned is carbon monoxide (CO). It is a toxic gas that can be harmful to human health and the environment.
Yes, a paper clip is more dense than water. The density of water is 1 g/cm³, while the density of a paper clip is higher than 1 g/cm³. This means that a paper clip would sink in water due to its higher density.
Fireworks that contain metals like strontium, barium, copper, and sodium can produce bright colors when burned. Strontium is an example of a metal used in fireworks that is less reactive than some other metals.
Yes, a paper clip will likely float on alcohol because alcohol has a density lower than that of water, making it less dense and able to support the weight of the paper clip.
The mass of the dust formed on burning a piece of paper is likely to be less than the original mass of the paper. This is because burning paper results in a conversion of some of the paper's mass into gases and ash, which can float away. The remaining dust would likely be a small fraction of the original mass.
less
only if the ORIGINAL not REMAINING duration is 3 months or less.
At least 500 dollars for a rifle with 80% of its original finish remaining.
When you squeeze and crumple a piece of paper, the shape and arrangement of the paper fibers are altered. The paper becomes less smooth and more wrinkled due to the compression of the fibers. The paper's original form is distorted, compromising its flatness and smoothness.
That depends on how much less paper you use...
less friction then what?
Using a piece of paper to roll cannabis can introduce harmful substances, especially if the paper is not designed for that purpose. Many types of paper contain chemicals or additives that can release toxins when burned. Additionally, rolling papers specifically designed for smoking are generally safer and less harmful to inhale. Always prioritize health by using appropriate materials.
The value of a firearm depends on the condition it is currently in. It also depends on which model the firearm is. Some models were made in less numbers and therefore are less common and can command higher prices. The closer to original condition as far as the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and/or metal is more desirable to collectors.
That depends on what it is. If by "original document" you mean a newspaper... moderately so, but lots of people kept those, so they're less rare (and correspondingly less valuable) than you might think. At a rough guess: if it's a major paper from a large city with a large display headline like "JAPAN SURRENDERS" or "PEACE", it might sell for in the vicinity of $50, with considerable variation either way. If it's an obscure paper from a small town, significantly less. If it's a clipping and not the entire paper, it's essentially worthless.
There are only two pieces of pie remaining.
Strictly speaking, it isn't. But many people think it's a great idea. Recycling paper means that less trees gets felled to make paper, and less paper has to go to landfills. Making paper out of paper also use up less energy than making paper from trees, so society save some there too.
