A polymer is a single chained molecule that is made up of repeating subunits called monomers. In contrast, a composite is a material that is made from combining two or more molecules with similar physical or chemical properties to produce a hybrid molecule.

Plywood- it is a composite made from sticking together thin strips of wood with glue to ake stable sheets.

Plastic- a polymer made of repeating units called monomers of some kind of organic compounds.

concrete- is a composite made from mixing water cement and rocks. The mixture is not repeating and can branch in different ways which discounts it from being a polymer.

fiberglass- is a composite made that has no repeating units but made from plastic and glass fiber.

paper- is a polymer made of a repeating units of a specific monomer.

nylon- is a polymer manufactured by reacting repeating units of monomers.

Plywood: Composite
Plastic: Polymer
Concrete: Composite
Fiber: Could be either or depending on the type of Fiber
Glass: Composite, yet made of polymers
Paper: Could be either. For example composite would be paper mache or recycled paper however plain paper would be polymer.
Nylon: Polymer

Anything with mass creates gravity, but the amount of gravity is proportional to the amount of mass.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Gravity is a force that increases the velocity of falling objects - they accelerate.

The half-life for the radioactive decay of C-14C-14 is 5730 years. You may want to reference (Pages 598 - 605) Section 14.5 whil

KIM [24]

Answer: The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs$

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

Write a hypothesis about the effect of dry conditions on earthworm behavior. Use the "if . . . then . . .

Vlada [557]

sorry about the late response...

If an earthworm is exposed to dry conditions, then it will retreat to a moist place because its skin needs to stay moist for the earthworm to survive.

What is the boiling point of a solution of 76 g of water dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

127.3° C, (This is not a choice)

Explanation:

This is about the colligative property of boiling point.

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Where:

ΔT = T° boling of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent

Kb = Boiling constant

m = molal (mol/kg)

i = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles dissolved in solution)

Water is not a ionic compound, but we assume that i = 2

H₂O → H⁺ + OH⁻

T° boling of solution - 118.1°C = 0.52°C . m . 2

Mass of solvent = Solvent volume / Solvent density

Mass of solvent = 500 mL / 1.049g/mL → 476.6 g

Mol of water are mass / molar mass

76 g / 18g/m = 4.22 moles

These moles are in 476.6 g

Mol / kg = molal → 4.22 m / 0.4766 kg = 8.85 m

T° boling of solution = 0.52°C . 8.85 m . 2 + 118.1°C = 127.3°C
