A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT 
To find the heat released.

Calorimeter functions by possessing a known mass of familiar substance combust or react in an enclosed space. The calorimeter exhibits an agent for captivation of the heat discharged at the time of reaction or combustion, for example, water may act as the heat absorbing agent.  

The variation in temperature of the heat absorbent in the company of its mass and specific heat capacity are utilized to find out the energy discharged with the help of the equation:  

Q = mCΔT

Hello,

The answer is option C protons and neutrons.

Reason:

The middle of the nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons which contain the positive and electrical charges which decides the element which means option C will be your answer.

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol
