Answer:

Combination of H2N(CH2)8NH2 and HOOC(CH2)6COOH leads to the loss of water molecules at each linkage position.

Explanation:

A condensation polymer is a polymer formed when two monomers combine with the elimination of a small molecule such as water. The removal of the small molecule occurs at the point where the two monomers are joined to each other.

Nylon is known to form condensation polymers. This is because it involves the linkage of an -OH group to an -NH2 group. Water is eliminated in the process.

In the case of H2N(CH2)8NH2 and HOOC(CH2)6COOH, linkage of the both monomers at the 8 position of each chain leads to the formation of nylon- 8,8 with loss of water molecules at each linkage position. This stepwise loss of water molecules at each linkage makes it a condensation polymer.

Which is a factor on determining the average atomic mass of an element
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Relative abundance of each isotopes of an element.

Explanation:

Consider the following example:

Uranium is used in nuclear reactors and is a rare element on earth. Uranium has three common isotopes. If the abundance of 234U is 0.01% the abundance of 235U is 0.71% and the abundance of 238U is 99.28% what is the average atomic mass of uranium

Abundance of U²³⁴ = 0.01%

Abundance of U²³⁵ = 0.17%

Abundance of U²³⁸ = 99.28%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of uranium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= (234×0.01)+(235×0.71)+(238×99.28)/100

Average atomic mass of uranium=  2.34 + 166.85 + 23628.64 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 23797.83 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

How much heat must be removed from 15.5 g of water at 90.0°C to cool it to 43.2°C?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat, Q = 3035.073 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 15.5 g

Initial temperature, T_i=90^{\circ} C

Final temperature, T_f=43.2^{\circ}

The specific heat of water is, c = 4.184 J/ g°C

The heat removed or absorbed by water is given by formula as :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q=15.5\times 4.184\times (43.2-90)\\\\Q=-3035.073\ J

So, the heat of 3035.073 J is removed from 15.5 g of water.
