Answer to Question 1

In general, as molecular weight increases, melt index will decrease. This is not always true from one polymer type to another, but is generally true within a particular polymer type. This relationship exists because the melt index measures the ease with which a polymer is melted. Melting is generally easier

Answer to Question 2

A copolymer is formed when more monomers are mixed together than are required for normal homopolymer formation. For addition polymerization this means that two different monomer types are required. For condensation polymerization three different monomer types are required. When these monomers are mixed, the resultant polymer has some of each of the monomers within it. These monomers can be arranged in four different patterns. The properties of the copolymer are normally intermediate between the properties of the homopolymers that would have been formed from pure, single-type monomers.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
