How pH affects copper corrosion?
A lower pH will erode a copper heat exchanger in a heater very quickly. I will also then, increase the copper level in the pool water and will make it difficult to add pH increaser or TA increaser. Both chemicals will stay out of solution. Once they do deslove the copper drops out and the will stain the liner black. The best solution is to keep an eye on your pH especially when you have a heater.

How does a compound stay together?
Let us say you have an ionic compound such as table salt, sodium chloride. The sodium atom donates a negatively charged electron to the chlorine atom, so that both atoms can achieve a more stable electron configuration. As a result, the sodium is now a positively charged ion and the chlorine is now a negatively charged ion. Opposite charges attract (as per Coulomb's Law) and so, the oppositely charged ions attract each other, and that's why the compound stays together. Now, if it is a covalent compound such as, for example, water, then the process is different. The oxygen is sharing electrons with two hydrogen atoms. They stay together because they have to be together in order to share electrons. The stability of their electron configuration requires it.

What are the disadvantages of polythene?
Disadvantage is that polythene once made cant be destroyed ever............polythene is big terror to our environment also Polythene is not biodegradable, and if dumped in the soil causes harm to the plant life, as the toxic substances of polythene get blocked among the soil particles. . Polythene threatens the life in the water bodies. The chemicals in polythene affects the survival of flora and fauna of the aquatic and marine eco systems. . Polythene is also likele 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. . Polythene is harmful for animals if swallowed. It solidifies inside the abdominal cavitywhich ultimately becomes lethal to the animal. . In most households poly bags are used to preserve food items. It has been found out, the colourful poly bags contains lead and cadmium which are toxic and causeadverse effects to human health. .
