| Why do they make two products |

So I just saw a commercial for zip-lock bags that are made of less plastic and using wind energyThere is also a Reynolds wrap aluminum foil that is also more greenMy question is if both the quot;greenerquot; product and the original are of equal quality why do they make bothThis also goes for the cleanersI think that if we really want to make a change for a better earth that companies if they find a greener better way to make the product then they should just sell the quot;greenerquot; productOther wise you give people a choice and they will think that the quot;greenerquot; product is not as goodSo the question is if they are equal why make both?Thats a great question and I never really thought about itThe green products are more expensive - i don\'t know if it costs more to make them or not, but if based on volume, they probably sell less of the green, thus making the price higherBut, I could be wrongIf the green product does cost more, then they are offering both products in order to stay competitive with other manufacturers, while at the same time offering you a choice.Other related question

What is the formula of the ionic compound formed when aluminum ion reacts with carbonate ion? And why?The compound carbonate, CO3 has a charge of 2-Aluminum, Al, has a charge of 3+ Carbonate needs 2 electrons, and aluminum has 3 to giveThe minimum number of each element you can have and use up all the electrons is 3 CO3\'s and 2 Al\'sso the formula would be Al2(CO3)3Other related question

What is an central air conditioner coil ?The coil is the part of the system that carries the refrigerant gases through a heat exchangerIt looks something like the radiator on your vehicleA coiled copper (or aluminum) tube snakes through a mesh of aluminum fins, increasing surface area and increasing the transmittal of heat.Other related question

So, what would the charge be of aluminium when it LOSES or GAINS electrons to become more stable and please show how you did thatExHow would you find out how much the element would lose or gain to become more stable and how you would find the new chargeAlso, please show why you did each stepThanks a ton! Also: When you are finding how many electron an atom would lose or gain to get a full outer level would you take into consideration the full amount of electrons in the energy level or would you just look at the electron configuration pattern and find out how many electrons there would be in that energy level until it jumped to another? (EX3s^2 3p^6 4s^2: it would be jumping from the 3rd energy level to the 4th energy level inbetween 3p^6 and 4s^2)The charge on an individual electron is −1.6022 ×10^−19 C [1]This is a discrete charge so adding an electron reduces the overall charge by 1.6022 ×10^−19 C and removing an electron increases the charge by that amountAtoms, before addition or removal of electrons, have zero net charge, although there is a distribution of that charge between the nucleus and the electron shellsTechnically this answers your primary question, however I suspect you are really asking a broader question When forming ions, electrons are added or removed from the outer shell to form a stable configurationFor row 1 or row 2 elements in the periodic table, the octet rule [2] will helpElements with only a few outer shell electrons will find it easier to lose those electrons, whereas elements with almost complete outer shells will find it easier to accept electronsThe number of electrons added or removed will determine the charge by increasing or reducing the charge by -1.6022 ×10^−19 C for each electronIn your example of aluminium you have an electron configuration of (Ne) 3s2 3p1Because there are only a few outer shell electrons this would tend to lose electronsTypically aluminium would form ions by removal of between one and three electronsThis can be seen in the oxidation states of 1, 2 and 3 for aluminium [3]Other states are possible, they\'re just not energetically favoured Removal of electrons when forming an ion is a wholesale thingThis isn\'t jumping from one energy level to another, but a complete removal from the electron shellsExcitation (moving an electron from a lower to a higher energy level) does not create an ion (unless the energy is sufficient for dissociation) and when the excitation source is removed the energy levels are restored and the excess energy emitted in the form of lightYou\'ve really touched on a lot of topics hereI\'ve tried to cover most of theseHopefully there\'s enough here to help a littleEnjoy  Other related question

I need to unroll a bunch of aluminium foil and then reroll it in smaller packageshow can i get it to stay straight on the tube as i\'m rolling it back up? whenever I try- it veers off course and I can\'t keep it straightis there something i could build or a way to keep it straight?The biggest key to rolling it straight this that you start it straightjust because you cut it straight does not mean it is straightThere is noway that I know of except trial and error to do thisWe have laminaters at work that we do this with but the same applies it all depends on starting the rollThe bigger diameter core you use to start with the easier it is to adjustGood luckOther related question

I have been filing the mouth cover for an aluminum soda canI tried throwing some on a burning lighterIt burned kinda white so I think it is aluminum but im not sure, Help plz.The bigger question here is, Why the hell are you making thermite? As far as I know, soda cans are a reasonable source of pure aluminiumAs long as you make sure they are clean and dry before you start, you should be able to get pure aluminium powder out of it FFS though, be careful.Other related question

If you crack the egg and pour it into a cup, or bowl, and poke the yoke how long will it take to cook?The best way to truly hard boil (or soft-boil) an egg in the microwave is to boil it in water inside a microwave One way to do that is to wrap the egg totally with aluminum foil so the microwaves won\'t actually penetrate to the egg, but the water around it will boil and boil the egg in the usual way with conduction from the hot water (just inside a microwave oven instead of in a pot on the stove)You must cover the eggshell with metal (alumfoil) though first because otherwise too much pressure will build up inside the shell and it will explode making a big mess.you could perhaps poke a small hole in one end first just to be sure thoughSome people have had success boiling an egg in its shell in a microwave without covering with aluminum foil, but the shell must have a reasonable size hole at both ends and be covered with waterno time givenYou can also microwave water to boiling in a coffee mug, then remove the mug from the microwaveDrop the whole egg into the mug and just let it sit there (outside the microwave) 10 mins .should be soft boiledlonger, perhaps up to 17 min or so for hard-boiledMay be best to cover the mug too to keep water hotYou can also poach eggs in a microwave which is more what you were describing by cracking the egg into a small container (and piercing the yolk, I think), and there are even some little trays you can buy to do that in a microwaveTo do that: WITHOUT WATER: .spray coffee mug with cooking spray .crack an egg into the mug pierce the yolk with a fork cover mug w/plastic wrap poke holes in the wrap .microwave for about 30-60 min or until egg is done the way you like it (depending on microwave) checking every 20 sec or so if unsure, or can turn egg over and cook a little longer WITH WATER .fill mug/small bowl/etc with water and crack an egg into it (some people add a bit of salt or vinegar to water)(pierce yolk?) .then microwave a minute or twopour out water HTH, Diane B.Other related question

So I baked Skittle cookies (cookies with skittles instead of chocolate chips) as i often doThey taste really good actually, but if you let it cool on the cookie sheet, the partially melted skittles will stick like super glue to the cookie sheetI should\'ve taken it off quicker, but it sat too long and now its stuckAny suggestions on how to get the cookies off without totally destroying them?The best you can do to salvage your cookies is to pop the whole sheet full of cookies into the freezerLeave it in there for at least a couple of hours, so the cookies will freeze throughoutCold tends to minimize adhesive propertiesHowever, you may be stuck with a bunch of broken cookies anywayIn the future, may I suggest using parchment paperIn case you\'re not familiar with it, it\'s heavy-duty paper impregnated with silicone, and it\'s made specifically for bakingIt works like a charm, it\'s inexpensive (you can also reuse it one or two times), and it\'s available right next to the aluminum foil and plastic wrap in your supermarket.Other related question
