Answer: The correct answer for a) Linear polymer with high density and high melting point and b) branched polymer with low density and low melting point

As the image is not attached , so I think it should be following image .

In the image , there are two types of polymers present . One polymer is long an unbranched , while other polymer is short and branched .

Polymers : These are giant molecules or repeating chains of small molecules formed by linking small molecules together by Carbon- Carbon covalent bonds .They are also called as " Macro molecules " . The process of formation of polymers is known as polymerization . The small molecules or the repeating units of a polymer are known as Monomers.

Polymers are produced naturally and can be synthesized artificially . Example of natural polymer are proteins , DNA etc and Artificial polymer are polyethylene , backelite etc.

Polymers are of various type based on their structure , linear , branched , cross linked . ( Describing following types of polymers based on image )

A) Linear polymers : These are long straight chain polymers like long string of Carbon -Carbon chain . These polymers when form , they fold back themselves like strands of fibre or mesh . They form very strong polymers .

They have well packed structures, due to which they have high intermolecular force of attraction . These high intermolecular force of attraction provide them high tensile strength and high density and hence they will have high melting point . It will be very difficult to break them .

Examples : Polyethene [-CH₂-CH₂-]n

Hence it can be said that a) box contains linear polymers and have high melting points and low densities.

B) Branched Polymers : These are linear polymers but have branches at regular intervals . These branches are known as side chains . The branches can be small or very long group . Branches polymers are also known as Dendrimers.

Due to branching , they cannot be closely packed . Branching prevents chain from getting close enough or to pack closely . Due to which they have low intermolecular forces . Hence they have low density and low tensile strength .So they have low melting points as well .

Examples : Glycogen , starch etc .

Since in image b) we can see the polymers have mall branches they can be assigned as " Branched polymers " and they will have low melting points and low densities.

BaLLatris [955]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, 9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give Ca^{2+} ion and CO_3^{2-} ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)

K_{sp}=s^2

8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2

s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, 9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L

In the following reaction, how many grams of NaBr will react with 311 grams of Pb(NO3)2?
Mashutka [201]
Molar mass :

NaBr = 103 g/mol

Pb(NO3)2 = 331.20 g/mol

<span><span /><span>Balanced chemical equation :

</span></span>2 NaBr + 1 Pb(NO3)2 = 2 NaNO3 + 1 PbBr<span>2
</span><span>
2*103 g NaBr ------------> 1 * 331.20 g Pb(NO3)2
      g NaBr  -------------------> 311 g Pb(NO3)2

331.20  g  =   2*103*311

331.20 g = 64066

mass ( NaBr ) =  64066 / 331.20

mass ( naBr)  = 193,43 g of NaBr

hope this helps!.

In a hypothetical atom, electron N transitions between energy levels, giving off orange light in the transition. In the same ato
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer : Electron P has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

Explanation :  

Wavelength range of violet light = 400 - 500 nm

Wavelength range of orange light = 600 - 700 nm

The Planck's equation is,

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of light

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

According to the Planck's equation, wavelength and energy follow inverse relation. As the wavelength increases, energy decreases.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of violet light is less. We conclude that When electron P gives violet light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was high.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of orange light is more. We conclude that When electron N  gives orange light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was low.

So, Electron P which gives violet light on transition has greater energy difference than the Electron N.
