Answer:

The number-average molecular weight for a poly(vinyl chloride) is 1,343,750 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molecular weight of the poly(vinyl chloride), $CH_2=CHCl =M=62.5 g/mol$

Number average molecular weight of the polymer = M_a

Degree of polymerization = n = 21500

$\frac{M_a}{M}=n$

$M_a=n\times m=21500\times 62.5 g/mol=1,343,750 g/mol$

The number-average molecular weight for a poly(vinyl chloride) is 1,343,750 g/mol.

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.

Explanation:

In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.

What is the mass of 6.02 x 1022 atoms of Xenon? HELP!!!!!

il63 [147K]

So 6.02*10^22 is avogadro constant, which is the amount of atoms in one mole. If you look Xenon up in the periodic table you will find it's mass given <span>131,293, which is grams per 1 mole.

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.269 g of Pb

Explanation:

Data

Lead solution = 0.000013 M

Volume = 100 L

mass = 0.269 g

atomic mass Pb = 207.2 g

Chemical reaction

2Pb(s) + O₂(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + 2Pb₂⁺(aq)

Process

1.- Calculate the mass of Pb in solution

Formula

Molarity = $\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Solve for number of moles

Number of moles = Volume x Molarity

Substitution

Number of moles = 100 x 0.000013

Number of moles = 0.0013

2.- Calculate the mass of Pb formed.

207.2 g of Pb ----------------- 1 mol

x g ----------------- 0.0013 moles

x = (0.0013 x 207.2) / 1

x = 0.269 g of Pb
