Answer: C) Both are made up of monomers that are linked by covalent bonds

Explanation: Polymers are large molecules which are formed by combination of small repeating units called as monomers.

Natural polymers are found in nature such as cellulose whereas synthetic polymers are synthesized in laboratories such as Nylon 6,6.

All the polymers, whether natural or synthetic are made up of monomers and are joined by covalent bonds.

Why does liquid stay at a constant temperature while it is boiling?

GaryK [48]

It is because say water boils at 212 F, if it goes higher at 213 it would get so much heat and energy it turns into a gas, so it cannot stay a liquid with 213 because at that point it would be gas, thus when water reaches 212 it's max if it goes any higher it will be gas

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

vlabodo [156]

A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.

The other options are incorrect because they are weak forces. They would cause low melting points.

A 80.0 g piece of metal at 88.0°C is placed in 125 g of water at 20.0°C contained in a calorimeter. The metal and water come to

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the piece of metal = 80.0 grams

Mass of the water = 125 grams

Initial temperature of the metal = 88.0 °C

Initial temperature of water =20.0 °C

Final temperature = 24.7 °C

pecific heat of water is 4.18 J/g*°C

Step 2: Calculate specific heat of the metal

Qgained = -Qlost

Q =m*c*ΔT

Qwater = - Qmetal

m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water) = -m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal)

with mass of water = 125 grams

with c( water) = 4.18 J/g°C

with ΔT(water) = T2-T1 = 24.7 - 20 = 4.7°C

with mass of metal = 80.0 grams

with c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

with ΔT(metal) = 24.7 - 88.0 = -63.3 °C

125*4.18*4.7 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

2455.75 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

C(metal) = 2455.75 / (-80*-63.3)

C(metal) = 0.485 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C
