Answer:

             The monomers of polyesters are,

                                  (i) A Dicarboxylic Acid

                                  (ii) A Dialcohol

Explanation:

                     As depicted from name polyester is a macromolecule which contains numerous ester functional groups. Ester is formed by the condensation of Carboxylic acid and alcohol as shown,

                            R-COOH  +  R'OH  →  RCOOR'  +  H₂O

Therefore, in order to utilize this reaction for the formation of long chain of polyesters then one can use a dicarboxylic compounds and dialcohol compounds. This will allow to propagate the chain length depending upon the requirement. Hence, the general reaction for the formation of polyester is shown below. The circle and rectangle specifies different moieties which imparts different characters to the polyester.

How many molecules are in 7.62 L of CH4, at 87.5°C and 722 torr
pickupchik [31]

Answer: There are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.

Explanation:

Given : Volume = 7.62 L

Temperature = 87.5^{o}C = (87.5 + 273) K = 360.5 K

Pressure = 722 torr

1 torr = 0.00131579

Converting torr into atm as follows.

722 torr = 722 torr \times \frac{0.00131579 atm}{1 torr}\\= 0.95 atm

Therefore, using the ideal gas equation the number of moles are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\0.95 atm \times 7.62 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K\\n = \frac{0.95 atm \times 7.62 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K}\\= \frac{7.239}{29.59705}\\= 0.244 mol

According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. Hence, number of atoms or molecules present in 0.244 mol are calculated as follows.

0.244 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 1.469 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.

The decomposition of NH4HS is endothermic: NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g) Part A Which change to an equilibrium mixture of this reaction
shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

As the given reaction is as follows.

       NH_{4}HS(s) \rightleftharpoons NH_{3}(g) + H_{2}S(g)

(a)  When increase the temperature of the reactants or system then equilibrium will shift in forward direction where there is less temperature. It is possible for an endothermic reaction.

Thus, formation of H_{2}S will increase.

  • (b)  When we decrease the volume (at constant temperature) of given reaction mixture then it implies that there will be increase in pressure of the system. So, equilibrium will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in composition of gaseous phase. That is, in the backward direction reaction will shift.

Hence, formation of H_{2}S will decrease with decrease in volume.

  • When we increase the mount of NH_{4}HS then equilibrium will shift in the direction of decrease in concentration that is, in the forward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that formation of H_{2}S will increase then.

PLS HELPP!!Which accurately describes one impact of the atmosphere on Earth’s cycles?
uysha [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Produces wind currents

Explanation:

The Earth's atmosphere which comprises the gases surrounding the Earth when heated up by the heating effect of the Sun creates winds such as land and sea breezes

The kind of forces that produce land and sea breezes results in wind patterns globally that affect climate. The curving masses of air due to the rotation of the Earth results in coriolis effect and trade winds that determines the cyclic (annual) seasons and weather.
