How can we measure draft power required during ploughing(loadis moving), when using any other tractor attachents like seed drills/harrows/ploughs?

We have a residue management project running here in our station, inside this project we want to measure draft power variation due to different factors. In this case, we need to measure the power...

Is it possible for a polymer to have optical band gap of 1.3 V and electrochemical band gap of 1.7 V?

Based on the reviews I read, most polymers got close value for optical and electrochemical band gap. I tried to calculate these band gap from UV-vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry. But the band...

What is the purpose of adding HBr in bromination? Hbr/Br2 system.

Is the HBr was added to prevent the formation of HBr as by-product from Br2 during the reaction (minimize the wastage of Br2)? And to move the reaction forwards faster?

Why DMSO is used even though the compounds are soluble in DMF?

I get to know that the solvent DMF is technically similar to the DMSO for organic synthesis, just that DMSO can dissolve more compounds than the DMF. Is there any special reason that DMSO is used...
