Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

2. A chemical analysis of a sample provides the following elemental data:
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C3 H6 O2

Explanation:

first divide their mass by their respective molar mass, we get:

30.4 moles of C

61.2 moles of H

20.25 moles of O

now divide everyone by the smallest one of them then we get

C= 1.5

H= 3

O= 1

since our answer of C is not near to any whole number so we will multiply all of them by 2

so,

C3 H6 O2 is our answer

why can the combined weights of several liquids mixed in an open flask be less than but never more than the sum of all the weigh
nexus9112 [7]
Because you are never adding more than the substances created, nor are you creating any, but should a chemical reaction take place you could see the liquid change form into a gaseous state and that would result a loss of the liquid volume.
So to wrap it all up you can’t have more liquids than what is already there but you could always lose some due to a chemical change, hence the reason it says an open flask, the chemical change would not be collected, mass would be lost

Butanal, an aldehyde, can be made from 1-bromobutane, but it requires two reactions in sequence. What are the two reagents that
hammer [34]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

My aim is to convert 1-bromobutane to butanal. The first step is to react the 1-bromobutane substrate with water. This reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism to yield 1-butanol. Hence reagent A is water.

1-butanol is now reacted with an oxidizing agent such as acidified K2Cr2O7 (reagent B) to yield butanal. Note that primary alkanols are oxidized to alkanals.

These sequence of reactions are shown in the image attached.
