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.

At 1 atm, how much energy is required to heat 75.0 g H 2 O ( s ) at − 20.0 ∘ C to H 2 O ( g ) at 119.0 ∘ C?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

238,485 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of energy required is a summation of heat of fusion, capacity and vaporization.

Q = mLf + mC∆T + mLv = m(Lf + C∆T + Lv)

m (mass of water) = 75 g

Lf (specific latent heat of fusion of water) = 336 J/g

C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = T2 - T1 = 119 - (-20) = 119+20 = 139°C

Lv (specific latent heat of vaporization of water) = 2,260 J/g

Q = 75(336 + 4.2×139 + 2260) = 75(336 + 583.8 + 2260) = 75(3179.8) = 238,485 J

How many moles are in 5.03 x 1023 molecules?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Some formulas for calculating mole are

Mole = Mass/ Molar mass

Mole = no of particles / avogadros constant

NB : no of particles can be no of atoms , no of ions , or no of molecules 2. Avogadros number or constant = 6.02 times 10 ^23

so we will be using the second formula

Mole = no of particles / avogadros constant

Mole = 5.03 x 10 ^23/6.02 x10^23

Mole = 8.355x10^45

Why does solid change to liquid when heat is added

Sophie [7]

Because that solid is frozen liquid, so when it gets heated up, it will melt. Like Ice.

Answer:

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11O to 26O have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15O with a half-life of 122.24 seconds, while the shortest-lived isotope is 12O with a half-life of 580(30)×10−24 seconds (the half-life of the unbound 11O is still unknown).
