<h3>Answer:</h3>

                Polymerization

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   Polymerization reactions are those reactions in which small molecules called as monomers join together to form a large molecule also known as polymers. These reactions are done via different mechanisms including addition reactions and condensation reactions.

<h3>Example:</h3>

              Proteins (polymer) are made up of amino acids (monomers) through condensation reaction as,

             n H₂N-RCH-COOH    →    H₂N-[-RCH]n-COOH  +  n H₂O

In above equation "n" represent large number, H₂N-RH-COOH represent amino acid (monomer) and H₂N-[-RH]n-COOH represent protein (polymer). While, the H₂O eliminated is the small neutral molecule.

               Other examples include Polystyrene, Polyethylene, Polyester, Teflon, DNA, Cellulose, Nylon <em>e.t.c.</em>

Consider a sample of 11.2 g of ice initially at 0.0 C. How much energy in kilojoules is required to melt the ice and warm it to
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1034.88J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass (m) = 11.2 g, initial temperature = 0°C, final temperature = 22°C, the specific heat capacity of water (C) = 4.2 J/g°C

Temperature difference (ΔT) = final temperature - initial temperature = 22 - 0 = 22°C

The quantity of heat (Q) required to melt the ice can be calculated from the equation:

Q = mCΔT

Q = 11.2 g × 4.2 J/g°C × 22°C

Q = 1034.88J

1,4-Pentadiene has a AHhydro = -254 kJ/mol while trans-1,3-pentadiene has a AHhydra = -226 kJ/mol. Explain this difference in he
julsineya [31]

Answer:

trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.

Explanation:

Here, \Delta H_{hydro}=H(hydrogenated pdt.)-H(diene)

H(hydrogenated pdt.) is same for both 1,4-pentadiene and 1,3-pentadiene as they both produce pentane after hydrogenation

H(diene) depends on stability of diene.

More stable a diene, lesser will be it's H(diene) value (more neagtive).

trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.

Hence, \Delta H_{hydro} is higher (less negative) for trans-1,3-pentadiene

An element that appears in the lower left corner of the periodic table is
Xelga [282]
This problem is honestly, very easy. Just grab a periodic table and find the element in Group 1 and Period 7. But first, let's discuss how the elements are arranged systematically in a periodic table. There are a lot of scientists who contributed to it, but the most famous one is Dimitri Mendeleev. He arranged the elements according to their atomic number. The elements starts from 1 which is Hydrogen up to the heaviest known elements which is Oganesson with an atomic number of 118. As you can observe, there is a gap between groups 3 and 4. This is done so that the periodic table does not take too much space horizontally. Thus, they are just placed at the bottom. These elements are called lanthanides (upper row) and actinides (lower row). The rows in the periodic table are called groups, and the columns are called periods.

Now, the element at the lower left corner (Group 1, Period 7) is Francium, abbreviated as Fr. It has an atomic number of 87. Some elements are actually synthesized, but Francium is a naturally occurring radioactive element. It was discovered by Marguerite Perey in France.
