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.

To make a table of the elements, dimitri Mendeleev sorted the elements according to their?

mixer [17]

Answer: He sorted on the basis of average atomic weights.

Explanation:

Dmitri Mendeleev in 1863 arranged chemical elements in the groups according to their average atomic weights.

He said that elements which have similar chemical properties either have similar atomic weights or their atomic weights increases regularly.

Hence, he collaborated a great work in sorting the elements according to their average atomic weights.

A student isolated 7.2 g of 1-bromobutane reacting equimolar amounts of 1-butanol (10 ml) and NaBr (11.1 g) in the presence of s

Alla [95]

Answer: The percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For NaBr:

Given mass of NaBr = 11.1 g

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaBr}=\frac{11.1g}{103g/mol}=0.108mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of 1-butanol and NaBr is:

$\text{1-butanol + NaBr}\rightarrow \text{1-bromobutane}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of NaBr produces 1 mole of 1-bromobutane

So, 0.108 moles of NaBr will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.108=0.108$ moles of 1-bromobutane

Now, calculating the mass of 1-bromobutane from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 1-bromobutane = 137 g/mol

Moles of 1-bromobutane = 0.108 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.108mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}}{137g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}=(0.108mol\times 137g/mol)=14.80g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of 1-bromobutane = 7.2 g

Theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane = 14.80 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 1-bromobutane}=\frac{7.2g}{14.80g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 1-bromobutane}=48.65\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.

Sonja [21]

Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the procedure where carbon goes from the surrounding into living beings and to the Earth and then again goes into the air. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it for food preparation. Creatures at that point eat the nourishment and carbon is put away in their bodies or discharged as CO2 through the breath.

Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products. This is known as carbon storage.

For instance, carbon, a fundamental component in natural particles, is preserved as it is moved from inorganic carbon in a biological system to natural atoms in living life forms of the biological system and back as inorganic carbon to the earth.
