condensation polymerization, since a byproduct of the reaction is a single molecule of water (hence condensation of water)

addition polymerization is if you add the two polymers together like blocks and should have no byproducts

esterification is when you combine an organic acid with an alcohol. Since neither of the two polymers look like acids, you can rule this out.

never heard of saponification, Im an mechanical engineer not an organic chemist

1. all elements are made of small particles called atoms
2. atoms of one element are identical in their properties, different atoms from different elements differ in properties

A lactic acid/lactate ion buffer solution contains 0.14 M HC3H5O3 and 0.83 M C3H5O3−, respectively. The Ka value of lactic acid

yKpoI14uk [10]

Use Henderson Hasselbache
PH=pka+log([salt]/[acid])
Pka=-log(ka)
-log(1.4x10^-4)= 3.85
log(.83/.14)= .77
3.85+.77= 4.62
PH=4.62

72.0 grams of water how many miles of sodium with react with it?

Flura [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{8.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses, moles, and molar masses.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

Mᵣ: 18.02

2Na + H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g: 72.0

2. Moles of H₂O

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{72.0 g H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O}$

3. Moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂O.

$\text{Moles of Na} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Na}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{8.00 mol Na}\\\\\text{The water will react with $\large \boxed{\textbf{ 8.00 mol}}$ of Na}$

citric acid has an acid dissociation constant of 8.4 x 10^-4 it would be most effective for preparation of a buffer with a pH of

Sloan [31]

Answer:

(B) 3

Explanation:

Citric acid has an acid dissociation constant (Ka) of 8.4 × 10⁻⁴. When it forms a buffer with its conjugate base (citrate), we can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

$pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

The optimum range of pH is pKa ± 1. The pKa is -log Ka = -log (8.4 × 10⁻⁴) = 3.1. The buffer would be more effective for pH between 2.1 and 4.1, especially around 3.1. So the best choice is (B) 3.

The probability that it will rain tomorrow is 11/15. What is the probability that it will not rain ?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

4/15

Explanation:

15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15

If 11/15 is the probability that it'll rain tomorrow, then the rest should be the probability that it'll not rain tomorrow.
