Patient added a 17-g measured dose of polyethylene glycol 3350 (MIRALAX) to 180 mL of water to use as a laxative. If the volume

of the resultant mixture was 195.6 mL, calculate the apparent density of polyethylene glycol 3350 and the specific gravity of the mixture

Answer: Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

Specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

Explanation:

The specific gravity of an object or substance is the ratio of the density of that object or substance to that of a reference substance usually water.

<em>Specific gravity = density of substance/density of water</em>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass of that substance to is volume.

<em>Density = Mass/volume</em>

Density of water 1.00 g/mL,  

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = mass/volume

volume of ethylene glycol = volume of mixture - volume of water

volume of ethylene glycol = 195.6 - 180) = 15.6mL

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

<em>mass of water =  density of water * volume of water</em>

mass of water = 1.00g/mL * 180mL = 180 g

Mass of solution = mass of substance + mass of water = (17 + 180)g = 197g

Density of mixture = mass of mixture / volume of mixture

Density of mixture = 197 g / 195.6 mL = 1.01 g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = density of mixture / density of water

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01g/mL / 1.00g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

The following table lists molecular weight data for a polypropylene material. Molecular Weight Range (g/mol) xi wi
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

a) the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization is 770

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Molecular                  Mean        Number      Weight      Number        Weight

weight                                                                             average         average

(g/mol)                    Mi(g/mol)         xi                wi          xiMi                  wiMi

8,000-16,000            12,000        0.07           0.03         840                360

16,000-24,000          20,000       0.15           0.09         3000              1800

24,000-32,000         28,000       0.26           0.21          7280              5880

32,000-40,000         36,000       0.27           0.27         9720               9720

40,000-48,000         44,000       0.18            0.28         7920              12320

48,000-56,000         52,000       0.07           0.12          3640              6240

∑                                                                                Mn=32,400     Mw=36,320

so;

a)  the number-average molecular weight

Mn = ∑Mixi

so from the table above; summation of Row Mixi

Mn = ∑Mixi = 32,400

Therefore, the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight

Mw = ∑Miwi

so from the table above; summation of Row Miwi

Mw = ∑Miwi = 36,320

Therefore, the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization

the degree of polymerization of polypropylene can be determined using number-average molecular and repeat unit molecular weight.

now, for polypropylene { CH₂ = CH - CH₃ }

the repeat unit consist of 3 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms

given that;

Atomic weight of Carbon mC = 12.01 g/mol and

Atomic weight of  Hydrogen mH = 1.008 g/mol

now we find the repeat unit molecular weight of polypropylene

m = nCmC + nHmH

where n is the number of repeat of atoms

so we substitute

m = ( 3 × 12.01) + ( 6 × 1.008)

m = 36.03 + 6.048

m = 42.078 g/mol

now we calculate the degree of polymerization;

DP = Mn / m

so we substitute

DP = 32,400 / 42.078

DP = 769.9985 ≈ 770

Therefore,  the degree of polymerization is 770

A liquid has a density of 1.17 g/cm3, how many liters of the liquid have a mass of 3.75 kg
Luda [366]
<span>There are 1000 cm3 in 1 liters. Hence 1 liter of the liquid would weigh: 1000 cm3 x (1.17 g/cm3) = 1170 gm and there are 1000 gm in 1 kg, so we want enough liters to have a mass of 3.75 kg x 1000 gm/kg = 3750 gm Hence, # of liters = desired mass / # of gm per liter = 3750 gm / 1170 gm/liter = 3.2051282 liters</span>
