Well in polymerization or in dehydration synthesis, the individual monomer molecules contain either H or OH attached to the end of their respective molecules. When they chemically compline together both the H and OH come off or break from their respective molecules and form water as a product. In place, a covalent bond is produced connecting the monomers together. In break down of polymers, with Water, the water molecule essentially disconnects the large molecule at the same place where it would have formed a covalent bond, and causes one of the monomers to bond to either a H and or OH. Separating the 2 compounds.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to use Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2} , where P is pressure and T is temperature

The initial pressure we're given is 4.5 atm (so P1 = 4.5) and the temperature is 45.0°C; however, we need to change Celsius to Kelvins, so add 273 to 45.0: 45.0 + 273 = 318 K (so T1 = 318).

The final pressure is what we want to find, but we do know the final temperature is 3.1°C. Converting this to Kelvins, we get: 3.1 + 273 = 276.1 K, which means T2 = 276.1.

Plug these values in:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{4.5}{318}= \frac{P_2}{276.1}

Multiply both sides by 276.1:

P_2 ≈ 3.9 atm

The answer is thus A.

A ________ reaction occurs when one compound reacts and is broken down into different elements or simpler compounds?
faust18 [17]

Answer: decomposition

Explanation:

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.
