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.

B. How do you think the physical properties (strength, flexibility, and viscosity) of the polymer would change if more borate ha
Talja [164]

It became thicker and its viscosity decreased and cannot flow as easily as before.

You ignite a chemical reaction by adding the borax solution to the glue mixture.

In a chemical reaction, the molecules of glue and borax combine to form a flexible, springy new substance. With rubber's vulcanization serving as a model, chemical cross-linking has been extensively employed to change the physical properties of polymeric materials.

Chemical links between polymer chains provide a substance with a more solid structure and perhaps a better-defined shape. It thickened and lost viscosity, making it more difficult to flow than it once could.

A gas occupies 4.31 liters at a pressure of 0.755 atm. Determine the volume if the pressure is increased to 1.25 atm. (Boyle)
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

<h2>2.60 L</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{4.31 \times 0.755}{1.25}  =  \frac{3.25405}{1.25}  \\  = 2.60324

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.60 L</h3>

Hope this helps you

A balloon filled with helium occupies 21.0ft³ at 55.0°F. Find the temperature of the helium if the volume of the balloon decreas
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Assuming pressure is held constant,the question reduces to a ratio and proportion type of question where;

At constant pressure,

21.0ft³-55.0°F

11.0fy³=11.0ft³/21.0ft³×55°F

The temperature is 28.809°F≈29°F
