Briefly explain why the properties of polycrystalline materials are most often isotropic.
Calculate how many billion years it will take to build 1 mole of a molecule with a formula of CnH2n+2 by adding 84 million atoms per second. Assume n=8 and 1 year=365 days. Use three significant figures (e.g. say 36.4 and not 36)
Nowadays, many cooking utensils are made of polymeric materials. However, people believe that heating plastic utensils would cause harm such as releasing toxic substances. Hence, people are looking for other alternatives to replace plastic. Choose ONE cooking utensil (spatula) and identify the suitable material that will satisfy its criteria. Justify your answer. Your discussion must include the interrelationship between structure-properties-processing of the selected cooking utensil.
