Does polythene dissolve in water?
No, polythene does not dissolve in water as it is a non-polar polymer and water is a polar solvent. This lack of attraction between the polythene molecules and water molecules prevents it from dissolving.
What happens when a polythene strip is rubbed on a woolen cloth and then placed near a thin stream of running water from a tap?
The polythene becomes negatively charged.
What is polythene rod made of?
The polymer "polythene".
Polythene can burn in oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water what is the formula?
polythene is a polymer of ethene. polythene primary while synthesis is a waxy solid, but it is made into transparent form by processing. The waxy solid which is the pure polythene burns in oxygen at elevated temperature to give carbon dioxide and water. but the processed polythene which we use in our daily lives, will burn in air to form CO2 and H2O along with other substances say carbon particles viz SPMs'. the equation is such that: - (C2H4)n + 3nO2 ----> 2nO2 + 2nH2O I am doing research on extraction of fuel from polythene, so I know a little on combustion products of polythene you. yours faithfully, Piyush Nanda.

What does polythene feel like?
Polythene feels smooth and slightly waxy to the touch. It is a durable and flexible material commonly used in packaging and construction due to its strength and water-resistant properties.
Does polythene dissolve in water?
No, polythene does not dissolve in water as it is a non-polar polymer and water is a polar solvent. This lack of attraction between the polythene molecules and water molecules prevents it from dissolving.
Does polythene float or sink?
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, typically floats on water because it has a lower density than water. This is due to its molecular structure, which enables polythene to be less dense and float on the surface of water.
Does polythene dissolve?
No, at least not in water.
What are the effects of polythene pollution?
One of the effects of the polythene pollution is that it interacts with water to form hazardous chemicals. It leads to the death of animals which consume the polythene which has not been disposed properly.
What are the Elements produced by polythene burning?
When polythene burns, it produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace amounts of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Burning polythene releases harmful chemicals into the environment and should be avoided.
What can you do as a group to stop water pollution?
to stop using polythene's
What happens when a polythene strip is rubbed on a woolen cloth and then placed near a thin stream of running water from a tap?
The polythene becomes negatively charged.
What will happen when gravel touches water?
The Gravel will absorb the water until it can absorb anymore.
What are the Slogans on hazards of polythene?
Polythene is not biodegradable * Polythene threatens the life in the water bodies. The polythene articles (e.g. six pack rings) affects the survival of animals the aquatic and marine ecosystems. * Polythene is also likely to clog the drains causing problems in the water flow of the pipes. The pipe blockages would cause flooding and the free flow of water is disturbed. * Polethene is harmful for animals if swallowed. It can accumulate in the bowels which ultimately becomes lethal to the animal. * In most households poly bags are used to preserve food items. Reused bag may be contaminated by materials harmful to human health.
What is more flexible aluminium or polythene?
