3 0

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = \frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol

Moles of propylene = \frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol

1 mole = N_A =6.022\times 10^{23} molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = 2.036 mol\times N_A

Units of propylene = 1.024 mol\times N_A

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}

A glass marble is rubbed against a piece of silk. As a result the piece of fabric acquires extra electrons. What happens to the
Natalija [7]

Answer:

There was an electron transfer where the marble has lost the same amount of electrons (being positively charged) that the piece of silk has gained (being negatively charged).

Explanation:

As a result of this transfer of electrons and the charges induced in the objects they will attract.

When a body is endowed with electrical properties, that is, it acquires electrical charges, it is said to have been electrified.

Electrification is one of the phenomena that studies electrostatics.

To explain how static electricity originates, we must consider that matter is made of atoms, and atoms of charged particles, a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Normally, matter is neutral (not electrified), it has the same number of positive and negative charges.

Some atoms are easier to lose their electrons than others. If a material tends to lose some of its electrons when it comes into contact with another, it is said to be more positive in the Triboelectric series. If a material tends to capture electrons when it comes into contact with another material, that material is more negative in the triboelectric series.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Van der waal's  force of attraction

Explanation:

Van der waal's  force of attraction

Forces of Van der Waals involve attraction and repulsion among atoms, particles, and surfaces as well as many other intermolecular forces. These vary from covalent and ionic bonding in that they are caused by similarities in surrounding particle fluctuating polarizations (a result of quantum dynamics).
