Mixture

Question: Dough is a mixture.Chocolate chips can be put in the mixture. Do the chocalate chips become part of the dough? I think that dough is just a mixture of ingredients that will eventually be kneaded, and ultimately baked. I can't find any specification that says dough must be homogeneous or heterogeneous. When you add the chips, it's just one more ingredient to the heterogeneous mixture. Then you manipulate the dough, like the definition says, and bake it into cookies. I say that chocolate chips become part of a unified chocolate chip dough, while my friend says the chips are absolutely not part of the dough, because they are heterogeneous. Opinions?

Answer: Yes the chocolate chips become part of the dough and they make the dough so much better to eat. I am not sure about the dough lasting long enough to be baked though.

Question: What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogeneous mixture? A homogeneous mixture is the same as a heterogeneous mixture except that it is typically at a higher temperature. A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture is not uniform. A homogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture is uniform. There is no difference between the two mixtures.

Answer: TRUE. A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture is not uniform.

Question: Can we use a mixture of diesel and vegetal oil in diesel engines? I would like to know if we can use a mixture of diesel and vegetable oil to make diesel engines to work.

Question: What mixture of gasses do you pump into sand to harden it for use in casting from sand molds? I saw this on a show called "How it's Made". All I know about the mixture is that the gasses are extremely flammable.

Answer: I've made sand molds, but I've never used gasses, it may be an industrial process which is not suitable to adapt to home casting. There are green sand molds, which means that sand is mixed with some water to get it to stick together, and I've used resin bonded sand molds in which at least 2 components of resin are mixed with the sand, used to make the mold (you need a pattern) and are then left to harden. If you want a direct casting method for jewelry you could also look in cuttlefish bone casting.

Question: What is a good mixture or recipe for a humming bird feeder? I would like to make my own humming bird mixture but am a little concerned. I have heard that mildew can kill the birds. What is a good mixture for them? Is honey or syrup better than sugar?

Answer: 4 parts water, 1 part white sugar. Do not use anything but regular sugar. Honey is poisonous to hummers. Do not use food coloring, there are studies showing that it is causing internal tumors. Your feeder is bright enough. Change the liquid at least once a week. Wash the feeder with hot water and a scrub brush, no soap. Some soaps leave behind odors that hummers don't like, and if you don't get all of it off, you will make them sick. Hang the feeder high enough that cats can't get them, and in a cool spot. A little sun won't hurt, but more sun means the liquid will spoil quicker. Hummers don't care how close to a window you put it, as long as there isn't a lot of movement right behind the glass. The more feeders you put out, the more hummers you will get. They are very territorial, so if one is feeding at one feeder, he can't scare away a hummer on a different feeder. Have fun!

Question: How is a mixture different from a compound? 1. Composition of a mixture may be con- stant. 2. Particles of a mixture are combined chem- ically. 3. Components of a mixture can be sepa- rated by physical means. 4. Components of a mixture can only be separated chemically.

Answer: a mixture has many different molecules and compounds have different atoms which make the same type of molecule.

Question: Would a meatloaf mixture be better if mixed together early in the day to be cooked later? In other words, would a meatloaf benefit from allowing the seasons in the mixture to marinate a few hours or so?

Answer: Absolutely! When I "actually" think of it in advance I do this. Comes out much more tasty and juicy. Speaking of meatloaf...I thought I might share this with you. I have always made my meat loaf the same way for many years. I decided to try something different and tried this recipe that I saw on food network. It was Awesome! If you try it..I hope you like it. I did not have zucchini so I used grated yellow turnip...it was great! I also did not have parchment so I just baked it on a pan. I could not believe my kids loved it and ate it on sandwiches for the following two days. 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large zucchini, finely diced 1 red bell pepper, finely diced 1 yellow pepper, finely diced 5 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste with coarse salt 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish 1/2 pound ground pork 1/2 pound ground veal 1 pound ground beef chuck 1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan 1 cup ketchup, divided 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, peppers, garlic paste, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until almost soft, 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Whisk together the eggs and herbs in a large bowl. Add the meat, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar, and the cooled vegetables and mix until just combined. Mold the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the remaining ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Question: What type of mixture should I use for nutrients? I want to know in general what type of mixture I need to put in the whole before planting a plant for giving the plant nutrients and fertilizer and what they need to feed on before planting to get a good start.Do I need to know x part bloodmeal x part bone meal x part bat guano...ect.

Answer: It depends on what you are planting but you can't go wrong with Espoma organic fertilizers. People have been using organic "fertilizers" with great success when they plant since the pilgrims planted a fish with their corn. If you are planting bulbs use Bulb*Tone, trees--use Tree*Tone, flowers--Flower*Tone, holly or any acid plants--use Holly*Tone. If you are doing a little pit of everything get a bag of Plant*Tone and one of Holly*Tone. Use the Holly*Tone on all acid plants and the Plant*Tone on everything else. You can make your own mixes but there is no need when Espoma researchers have already done it for you. Note: It's not always a good idea to use a "hot" chemical fertilizer like 12-12-12 when you plant. A lot depends on your climate.

Question: How would a mixture of Judo and Wing Chun be good for self defence? How would a mixture of Judo and Wing Chun be good for self defence? What would its strengths and weaknesses be?

Answer: Hard to say, to a degree it is good for hand to hand self defense. Judo prepares you tremendously for moving with intensity and purpose, you spar at full speed with your opponent trying to beat you, this translates well to fights. Wing Chun it really depends on how you are training, if the most you do is push hands, and punching bags and working dummies, it isn't going to teach you effectively how to use it in the streets, nor will you develop a combat reflex from it. You need full speed sparring, with head contact (controlled or padded) to give you an idea of now only where the timing and openings are, but also how to defend yourself from punches. It is hard to go straight weakness because it is really how you train. Major weakness is that little time will be spent in either one going over weapons, and the philosophies of how to deal with them. The weakness that approaching any self defense situation from a hand to hand standpoint, weapons or deploying weapons should be a primary, with empty hand tactics secondary. Neither art will really drill into you what a TRUE self defense scenario is, or the laws regarding it. Neither art will give you the most effective self defense tactic in the world, having a good head on your shoulders, the ability to talk your way out of situations, and the ability to recognize a potential hostile or unsafe environment before going there. In reality neither art really helps you develop situational or environmental awareness. From a hand to hand stand point, when trained properly, and in cojuction with another they could be very effective, but keep in mind there is more than just empty hand techniques involve when it comes to real self defense.

Question: Why would a mixture combining two dangerous solutions be safer to handle than the 2 solutions themselves? For instance, the solutions HCl and NaOH are both to be cautiously handled, however, the mixture of the 2 of those solutions is somehow less hazardous from a waste-disposal point of view. Why is this?

Answer: When compounds or elements combine, their properties change. A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal structure must be affected for its chemical properties to be investigated. Chemical change results in one or more substances of entirely different composition from the original substances. The elements and/or compounds at the start of the reaction are rearranged into new product compounds or elements. A CHEMICAL CHANGE alters the composition of the original matter. Different elements or compounds are present at the end of the chemical change. The atoms in compounds are rearranged to make new and different compounds. Magnesium reacts with oxygen from the air producing an extremely bright flame. This is a chemical change since magnesium oxide has completely different properties than magnesium metal shown on the left. So, in short, the properties change because a chemical change took place. I hope this helps!:)

Question: What is the proper mixture for gas and oil for a McCulloch chain saw? I bought this chain saw with-out a manual and I noticed it has a mixture of gas and oil. I think that it maybe 40:1, but not sure.

Answer: Never run a Non-OEM oil at any ratio leaner than 20:1, an OEM oil however can be run at whatever it recommends (i.e. McCulloch oil can be run at whatever is recommended). EDIT: For the record, I do practice this I'm not just telling you to use a ton of oil. I run Royal Purple TCW-3 at 20:1, sometimes more if I'm not sure how much oil is in the gas because my 2-cycle equipment puts food on my table. $8 every five gallons big deal, I barely use five gallons in a month.

Question: How do you determine polarity of a mixture? I recently performed an amino acid experiment with chromatography paper using a mixture of ethanol, ammonia and water as the solvent in a ratio of 8:3:1. Individually the substances are polar, but are they polar mixed? is it a mixture or compound now?

Answer: Your solvent is a mixture. Think about what makes the solvent polar, and you will realise that it still is. I think the ammonia may be there to partly neutralise the amino acid. I think the ammonia that you used must be a solution of ammonia in water. Ammonia itself is a gas at room temperature, and you would not want to breathe it.

Question: What is a good mixture of bedding that my gerbils could make a tunnel system in? Do i have to use a mixture or can i use a single bedding. I've heard of using aspen shavings and hay. Where would i get hay from?

Answer: gerbils like hay to munch on, so i would say aspen because they won't eat it all before they make a tunnel, you can buy hay or aspen shaving at any local pet store

Question: What is the best mixture or process to clean a vintage rifle after firing corrosive surplus ammo? It is a mosin nagant 1891/30, 7.62 x 54, bloc nation surplus ammunition with corrosive primers........Need a mixture of chemicals, or 1 that you can buy to clean the bore.

Answer: That's easy. Good old hot water and soap works best. It neutralizes the corrosive salts from those nasty primers quickly and safely. No "chemicals needed. Simply swab the heck out of the bore and wash down the bolt face etc. Then (this is the key part) dry it completely. Best is with compressed air, but wiping it well and removing all moisture is ok. BUT, you must then use a quality lubricant, such as Breakfree CLP (which is all I use) to lube it down well, making sure to hit all areas. this also works very well for black powder firearms as well). Then wipe lightly and you are done. Your other options are military bore cleaner, and I have heard, but never tried windex with ammonia will work. Getting rid of all remaining moisture is the key. shoot safe
