Answer:

c. Polystyrene

Explanation:

Caleb wants a synthetic material that is not soluble in water, so it must be a nonpolar material because water is polar.

Cellulose is a nonpolar molecular, but is a natural product;

Nylon is a synthetic compound, but is polar, so it' soluble in water;

Vulcanized rubber is polar and the rubber is a natural compound.

The only compound that he can use is polystyrene, which is insoluble in water and is a synthetic material.

What is the mass of 4.56 moles of copper (ii) fluoride​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

463.0 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the following relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass.</em>

where, n is the mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ (m = 4.56 mol),

mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = ??? g.

molar mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = 101.543 g/mol.

∴ mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = (n)(molar mass) = (4.56 mol)(101.543 g/mol) = 463.0 g.

Which statement about the reaction is correct?
Goshia [24]

The reactions based on the absorption and release of the energy are called endothermic and exothermic reactions. The reaction is exothermic.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reactions are the reaction in which the reactant produces products that release energy from the system to the surroundings. In the reaction bond energy of the reactant is less than the product.

Energy from the system is released in the form of heat, sound, light and electricity. The weak bonds of the compounds are replaced with stronger ones and the standard enthalpy of the reaction is negative.

Therefore, option c. reaction is exothermic is correct.
