Answer: Polythene

Polythene is a synthetic polymer classified as plastics.

Explanation:

Polythene is formed artificially from several repeating units of ethene molecules (monomers) in a reaction known as polymerization.

The polyethene can be represented as [CH2-CH2]n, where n is thousands to ten thousands unit of ethene.

It is used to make

- plastic bags,

- cable insulators

- plastic crates etc

Thus, polythene is a synthetic polymer of ethene, and classified as plastics.

Answer:

Polyethylene

Explanation:

They are man made polymers consisting of several long chain monomers of the same chemical composition. It has a chemical formula of (C2H4)n where n is the number of units or chain.

It is the most popular synthetic polymer due to its easy, simple structure and lightweight compared to other synthetic polymers produced commercially.

It is used in making grocery bags, automobile parts etc.

When solving an equation using Gay-Lussac's law, which of the following steps do not apply? A. List your knowns and unknowns. B.

suter [353]

Answer:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For a constant mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where

p1 is the initial pressure

T1 is the initial temperature (in Kelvin)

p2 is the final pressure

T2 is the final temperature (in Kelvin)

Therefore, in order to solve for one of the 4 variables, the following steps must be adopted:

A. List your knowns and unknowns.

B. Convert temperature to kelvin.

D. Solve for the unknown.

While the following step is not needed:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Because we do not need to use the ideal gas law formula.

CH3CI, CF4, HCI, NH3 which would have the lowest boiling point

Sergio [31]

Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.

Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N( $NH_{3}$ ) . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction ( $CH_{3}Cl$ and $HCl$ ). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.

Among the given compounds, $CF_{4}$ has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.
