How is a polymer like a chain of paper clips

1 answer:

3 0

A polymer is a really long chain of smaller molecules (monomers). It's similar to a chain of paper clips because all of the little monomers will attach to each other, forming a long strain.

g If 50.0 mL of a 0.75 M acetic acid solution is titrated with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, what is the pH after 10.0 mL of NaOH have

V125BC [204]

Answer:

pH = 2.66

Explanation:

Acetic Acid + NaOH → Sodium Acetate + H₂O

First we calculate the number of moles of each reactant, using the given volumes and concentrations:

0.75 M Acetic acid * 50.0 mL = 37.5 mmol acetic acid

1.0 M NaOH * 10.0 mL = 10 mmol NaOH

We calculate how many acetic acid moles remain after the reaction:

37.5 mmol - 10 mmol = 27.5 mmol acetic acid

We now calculate the molar concentration of acetic acid after the reaction:

27.5 mmol / (50.0 mL + 10.0 mL) = 0.458 M

Then we calculate [H⁺], using the following formula for weak acid solutions:

[H⁺] = $\sqrt{C*Ka}=\sqrt{0.458M*1.76x10^{-5}}$

[H⁺] = 0.0028

Finally we calculate the pH:

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = 2.66

Is apple juice a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture

Solnce55 [7]

If you mean the industrialized apple juice then yes. Even though there are several different compounds and some of them aren't actually dissolved in the liquid, since you can't actually distinguish between them using only your eyes and they do no separate naturally it is actually a homogeneous mixture.

Sylvanite is a mineral that contains 28.0% gold by mass. How much sylvanite would you need to dig up to obtain 73.0 g of gold?

Scorpion4ik [409]

You would have to dig up 261 g of sylvanite.

Mass of sylvanite = 73.0 g Au × (100 g sylvanite/28.0 g Au) = 261 g sylvanite.

Calculate the reaction quotient Qp for the following redox reaction: 14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Cl- ----> 2Cr3+ + 3Cl2 + 7H2O The reac

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Value of $Q_{p}$ for the given redox reaction is $1.0\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Redox reaction with states of species:

$14H^{+}(aq.)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq.)+6Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3Cl_{2}(g)+7H_{2}O(l)$

Reaction quotient for this redox reaction:

$Q_{p}=\frac{[Cr^{3+}]^{2}.P_{Cl_{2}}^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{14}.[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}].[Cl^{-}]^{6}}$

Species inside third braket represent concentration in molarity, P represent pressure in atm and concentration of $H_{2}O$ is taken as 1 due to the fact that $H_{2}O$ is a pure liquid.
