Answer:
- <em>During the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule,</em> <u>19 molecules of water are released.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
In simple terms, <em>cellulose </em>is the biopolymer formed by many glucose units. This is cellulose is the polymer and glucose is the monomer.
To have a <em>20 monomer-long cellulose molecule</em>, 20 monomers have been chemically bonded by reacting 19 times, as it is explained in the next paragrpahs, and so 19 molecules of water have been released.
You can imaging the polymerization process as a step-by-step reaction in which the first step is the condensation reaction of one glucose molelecule to produce a 2 monomer-long chain, with the release of one molecule of water: the second step would be the condensation reaction between the 2 monomer-long chain with another glucose molecule, with the release of an additional molecule of water, and so on, until 19 condensation reactions happen, to obtain the 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule.
Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction.
When two glucose molecules react together, condensation occurs. One OH group from each glucose molecule come together, the OH from one glucose molecule combines with the H part of the OH from the other glucose molecule, to form H₂O (water that is released).
The two glucose molecules (monomers) will form one bigger molecule where the two glucose monomers are bonded through the oxygen atom that did not form part of the water molecule released.
Then, a 20-monomer chain means 19 condenstation reactions, with the release of 19 molecules of water.

<u>Hydrogen bonds </u>are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.
- The hydrogen bond is weak bond.
- The hydrogen bond is electrostatic force of attraction between hydrogen atom and more electronegative atoms or group ( like Florine , oxygen or nitrogen) which is contently bonded.
- The hydrogen bond is occur in polar , contently bond atoms in different molecules.
- Example is H-O-H or
- The positively charged hydrogen side of one water molecule is bond with negatively charged oxygen side of another molecule.

Answer:
This experiment is uncontrolled because two different masses of substance A are used.
Explanation:
A controlled experiment is a structured experiment aimed at testing a particular observation or observations. The setup of a controlled experiment helps to determine the reason why a particular observation occurs and what must have led to it.
In the experiment highlighted above, different masses of a substance were used, they were heated to different temperatures. The set up does not show any correlation between the masses of substances heated and the temperatures. It is even difficult to try to predict the hypothesis for this kind of experimental set up. All the variables in play can best be assumed to be independent of one another.
