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.

What type of reaction provide energy within a red giant star? and how come?

Dafna1 [17]

"A red giant is a star that has exhausted the primary supply of hydrogen fuel at its core. An average-sized star like our Sun will spend the final 10 percent of its life as a red giant. In this phase, a star's surface temperature drops to between 3,140 and 6,741°F (1,727 and 3,727°C) and its diameter expands to 10 to 1,000 times that of the Sun. The star takes on a reddish color, which is what gives it its name."

A crow flies 100 meters east in 5 minutes. What is the crow’s velocity?

torisob [31]

Answer: 20 m/min east

Explanation: The speed is distance divided by time

distance between start-point and end-point = 100 meters

time to cover the distance = 5 minutes

100 m ÷ 5 min = 20 m/min east

you have to add east since velocity is the measure of speed and direction and your answer needs to include the direction
