Answer is: polystyrene.
Expanded polystyrene is used to manufacture foam cups.
Polystyrene production is several million tonnes per year.
Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer styrene.
Styrene (ethenylbenzene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH=CH₂. It is a colorless oily liquid.
Bioorganic chemistry is a rapidly growing scientific discipline that combines organic chemistry and biochemistry. It is that branch of life science that deals with the study of biological processes using chemical methods.
The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.
Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).
Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:
H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).
Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.
Answer:
Percent yield = 90.5%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of carbon dioxide = 500 g
Mass of water = excess
Actual yield of carbonic acid = 640 g
Percent yield = ?
Solution:
Balanced chemical equation:
CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃
Number of moles of carbon dioxide
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 500 g/ 44 g/mol
Number of moles = 11.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of H₂CO₃ with CO₂.
CO₂ : H₂CO₃
1 : 1
11.4 : 11.4
Mass of carbonic acid:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 11.4 mol × 62.03 g/mol
Mass = 707.14 g
Percent yield:
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100
Percent yield = 640 g/ 707.14 g × 100
Percent yield = 90.5%
