My husband and I go to see bands together and get ink stamps on
our hands (see photo) so we can be allowed back into the venue if we
leave temporarily. We have noticed that the stamp on his hand remains
clear whereas the stamp on my hand quickly deteriorates to a smudge.
Does anybody have any ideas why this might be so?
I subscribe to several magazines that come in plastic wrappers. Some wrappers are recyclable, some are biodegradable, and some are neither. Is biodegradable more environmentally friendly than recyclable? Why can't they be both biodegradable and recyclable?
The adsorption rate constant of Pb(II) on acid activated clay (pH ~ 4) is less than the adsorption rate constant of Pb(II) on the raw clay (pH ~ 8). Why? Is there any relation between the surface acidity of the clay and rate constant? Surface area of acid activated clay is more than that of raw clay.
