A cyclic ring molecule follows Hückel's rule when the number of its π(pi)-electrons equals 4n+2 where n is zero or any positive integer, although clearcut examples are really only established for values of n = 0 up to about n = 6
A furan structure is a planar 5 membered ring with one O atom in its ring on which one pi-pair is situated. This leaves another 2 pi-pair's for two double bonds, a total of 6 (3 pi-pairs) obeys Hückel's rule for the n=1 value.
Thus furan is aromatic as benzene (also n=1, 6 pi-electrons in 3 pi-pairs).

How do you reduce the brittle nature of pf resin while curing?
The brittle nature of resin can be reduced while curing by applying a small amount of heat. This will allow the material to set more slowly and form a stronger bond.
What is the pH value of ammonium sulphate?
While I can't find a specific pH value - it is certainly acidic - as it's used to 'neutralise' alkaline soil.

Is passively assessing the range of motion of a joint?
done by observing the joint while the person moves it themselves or by applying pressure to see how far it can be moved. This can help determine any restrictions or limitations in movement.
What is the process for converting units called?
The process for converting units is called unit conversion. It involves changing the value of a quantity from one unit to another, while ensuring that the numerical value remains the same.
