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}

Can some one please help
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Chadwick-he discovered the neutron. He discovered this by demonstrating a neutral particle with a mass the same as a proton through a reaction between gramma Ray's and a wax sample.

Rutherford-he discovered the concept of radioactive half-life, the radioactive element radon, and named alpha and beta radiation.

j.j.Thompson discovered that atoms where made up of smaller components. This had major effects for the field of physics.
