Answer to Question #301650 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for camila

Question

Your mother asked you to do the laundry for the day. She reminded you that some of the

clothes are used by your father in the farm. The clothes are soiled and greasy. She even

instructed you to save resources and energy because we are in a state of pandemic due

to Covid-19. As a student of Physical Science and with the knowledge on the effect of

intermolecular forces on substances, how are you going to perform the task in such a way

that energy is not wasted?

Answer 1

Use a detergent that removes soil and grease from clothes easily just by adding a small amount if it in water instead of using detergents that are not effective as required. Additionally, to save on electricity use hands to clean clothes instead of a washing machine.
