Polyester is a condensation polymer of dicarboxylic acid and diol. Example : Polethylene terphthalate is polymer of ethylene glycol and tere phthallic acid. When a strong acid like HCl or a strong base like NaOH comes in contact with polyester (like spilled on slacks) it causes hydrolysis of polyester and it get converted back to dicarboxylic and diol(the monomers). the general reaction will be RCOOR' ---> RCOOH + R'OH Thus slacks will get teared.

How can you tell the mass was conserved in a chemical reaction?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Mass \ of \ products \ = \ mass \ of \ reactants}}

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

In a chemical reaction, there are products and reactants. The reactants <em>react</em> and <em>produce</em> the products.

Since mass can't be created or destroyed, the mass of the products must be equal to the mass of the reactants if mass was conserved in a chemical reactions.

Answer:

A, they get their food in the same way.

Explanation:

Some fungi can be toxic or poisonous.

Example: mushrooms. Mushrooms typically are found in forests and meadows/plains.

Some fungi are glowing, brown, and in many forms/shapes.

In conclusion, fungi all get nutrient from the dirt they grew in, forests can be moist which gives fungi excellent places to form, usually around trees, because they can absorb plenty of nutrients from the dirt.

How does molarity and molality affect the concentration of a solution<br>explain.
kolbaska11 [484]

Concentration of a solution can be expressed in terms of molarity and molality

Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a liter of a solution.

Molarity (M) = Moles of solute/Volume(litres) of solution

Molality is the number of moles of solute in one kg of the solution

Molality (m) = Moles of solute/Mass (kg) of solution

Therefore if the volume or the mass of the solution is changed this would affect the concentration.

In addition, volume is a quantity which depends on temperature. However, mass is independent of temperature. Therefore any changes in temperature, can also bring about a change in the molarity of the solution.

if you react 28 grams of butene with excess hydrogen how many grams of butane would you expect to get
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is 29 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the reaction will be,

CH3CH=CHCH3 + H2 ⇒ CH3CH2CH2CH3

The molecular weight of butene is 56 grams per mole, and the molecular weight of butane is 58 grams per mole.

Thus, it can be said that 56 grams of butene reacts with hydrogen gas and produces 58 grams of butane.

Therefore, 28 grams of butene when reacts with hydrogen gas to give,

= 58/56 * 28 = 29 grams of butane.

Hence, the mass of butane produced will be 29 grams.
