Polyvinyl chloride is used for drain pipes in plumbing applications. It has replaced traditional cast iron pipe for this purpose. The major advantage of PVC in replacing cast iron for this application (particularly if you are a plumber or homeowner) is that PVC:

A) is more resistant to corrosion.
B) is of lighter weight.
C) is easier to handle and cut.
D) All of the above are advantages of PVC.

Why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby decreasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby increasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby decreasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils.

What are the first two quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 4d? what are the first three quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 2s? how many electrons can be held in a sublevel l = 3? how many electrons can be held in the energy level n = 4? how many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n = 4 and l = 3?

The bond energy for the van der waals bond between two helium atoms is 7.9×10−4ev. assuming that the average kinetic energy of a helium atom is (3/2)kbt, at what temperature is the average kinetic energy equal to the bond energy between two helium atoms
