The white powder found on the crime scene was tested by the investigators. One of the powders gave off a purple colour whilst the other gave off a red colour. What technique is used to test out these chemicals ?
What type of chemicals are the powders made up of ?

What’s the question

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.

You would be correct, boiling water does disinfect contamination.    the property of disinfecting means to kill  germs, bacteria and other pathogens or contamination  that might cause an infection or cause a person to become sickly. a couple methods of disinfecting are using soap, other cleaning supplies or by simply "boiling" the contaminate.  the reason why boiling water disinfects certain attributes is because some cells cannot survive the heat and pressure.

Yeah, but what are you trying to ask?
