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}

Mass can be created and destroyed.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Conservation of Energy and Mass

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. ... Similarly, the law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy is neither created nor destroyed.

What does a mole of iron weigh
r-ruslan [8.4K]

As the atomic mass of iron is 55.847u

We say that it is the mass of one mole of iron.

By formula it can be find by

No.of mole=mass in g/molar mass

Mass in gram = no.of mole x molar mass

No.of mole =1

Molar mass = 55.847g

Mass in gram = 1x55.847

= 55.847g of Fe

What is a product for 4 reaction type?
Crank

Answer:

1= 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

2=CaCo₃ + heat → CaO +CO₂

3=CH₄ + 2O₂   → CO₂ +2H₂O

4=HCl + NaOH   → NaCl + H₂O

Explanation:

1 = Simple composition

The formation of water molecule is simple composition reaction. In this reaction two hydrogen atoms react with one oxygen atom and form one water molecules.

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

The amount of energy released is -285.83 KJ/mol. It is exothermic reaction.

2 = Simple decomposition reaction:

The break down of sodium hydrogen carbonate into sodium carbonate, carbondioxide and water is decomposition reaction. The decomposition reactions re mostly endothermic, because compound required energy to break.

2NaHCO₃ + heat → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

It is endothermic reaction.

Another example is:

CaCo₃ + heat → CaO +CO₂

3 = Combustion reaction

Consider the combustion of methane:

CH₄ + 2O₂   → CO₂ +2H₂O

The burning of methane is exothermic. The combustion reactions are exothermic because when fuel are burns they gives energy.

4 = Neutralization reaction

The neutralization reactions are those in which acid and base react to form the salt and the water. Some neutralization reactions are exothermic because they release heat. e.g

Consider the neutralization reaction of HCl and NaOH.

HCl + NaOH   → NaCl + H₂O

How does changing the amount of one substance affect a mixtures identity and a compounds identity iscience?
pychu [463]

Explanation:

A compound is defined as follows.

  • Compounds are pure substance.
  • The atoms bonded in a compound are in specific proportion.
  • A compound is formed by chemical combination.
  • For a compound, melting point and boiling point is defined.

A mixture is defined as follows.

  • Mixtures are impure substance.
  • The bonded atoms in a mixture are in any proportion.
  • A mixture is formed by physical combination.
  • For a mixture, melting point and boiling point is not defined.

On changing the amount of one substance will affect the formation of compound as a compound requires atoms to be bonded in a specific proportion. Whereas changing the amount of one substance will not affect the formation of mixtures  as atoms can be bonded in any proportion in a mixture.
