Answer:

<u>Polymerization process(Addition)</u>

Explanation:

<u>Polymerization </u>: The process in which small units called monomers combine to produce large mass compound is called polymerization reaction.These large masses are also called macromolecules.

The formation of polymers can occur by addition or condensation process .

<u><em>Addition</em></u> : In addition reaction small units add to previous units

<em><u>Condensation</u></em> : In condensation , a small molecule like water , carbon dioxide get eliminated when the unit attach to previous unit.

Some natural polymers are Proteins , carbohydrates , lipids , cellulose.

Polythene = addition polymerisation also known as Chain growth polymerisation.

$nCH_{2}=CH_{2}\rightarrow (-CH_{2}CH_{2}-)_{n}$

This occur in three steps:

1. Chain Initiation : The start of the reaction occurs with the radical. These are generated from some organic peroxide and have general representation:

$R^{.}$

2 . Chain Growth = When the small units goes on adding to the previous units , Chain length increases and this is called chain growth.

3. Chain Termination = The chain continues to grow more and more until not forced to stop. This termination of chain growth is called chain termination

<h3>What is a chemical equation? </h3>

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

<h3>How to determine the number of atoms of Cl</h3>

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Products => AlCl₃ and H₂

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC

Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)$

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}$ (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

= 195.65 mol

As, Q = $n \times F$ where F = Faraday's constant

= $195.65 mol \times 96500 C$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7}$ mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5$

= $9.4 \times 10^{7} J$

As 1 J = $2.77 \times 10^{-7}$ kWh

Hence, $\frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}}$ kWh

= 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

b=200

l=100

Explanation:

so since it is a square all sides would be equal

when you cut the square vertically the dimensions will change

the bredth would be same that is 200

but the length would be half that is 100

Which of the following sentences represents a physical change? sugar dissolves in coffee iron rusts gasoline burns in an engine

MAXImum [283]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Physical changes example is sugar dissolves in coffee
Chemical changes examples are iron rusts, gasoline burns in an engine and a candle burns.

Explanation.

Physical changes depend on only physical state, not on composition, which can be separated by physical means while chemical changes depend on composition and only separated by chemical ways.
As in case of iron rusting, gasoline and candle burn are cases chemical changes bcz they convert into another substance whose composition is different from other as compare to sugar which has same composition in coffee ,only state is changed from solid to liquid.
