Lipids are soluble in solvents of low polarity, which simply means that lipids are soluble in nonpolar solvents. This solubility property is a result of the large nonpolar regions that are indicative of the lipid molecule.

Pressure = (Net Force) / (Applied area) = Newton / square meters

Measuring units of pressure are:

. Pascal
. Bar
. Torr
. Pounds per square inch (psi)
. Standard atmosphere (atm).

As water is cooled from 4 deg C to 0 deg C, the water reaches its freezing point and starts forming ice crystals. Then the volume of that ice cubes increases and its density decreases. Hence, it is the reason that ice will float on water as ice has less density than the water.

Sulfur vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials by heating them with sulfur. By this they achieve improved elasticity, resilience, tensile strength, viscosity, hardness and weather resistance.
