Answer:

Cotton

Explanation:

Cellulose, another natural polymer, is the main structural component of plants. Most natural polymers are condensation polymers, and in their formation from monomers water is a by-product.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Cotton</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A polymer is a macro molecule or gaint molecule which is formed as a chain from many small molecules(which is called as a monomer).

Polymer is a repeating unit of many monomers.

For example

Ethylene or ethane formula is C2H4.

Many ethane molecules under particular temperature and pressure conditions undergo the polymerization process to form polyethene. During this process the double bond breaks and becomes single bond and produces a long chain which we call it as a polymer.

The repeating unit of Cotton polymer is called as Cellubiose which is made up of 2 glucose units.

The number of units which forms the polymer (degree of polymerization) is about 5000 cellubiose units.

Paul determines that the hydrogen ion concentration of his unknown solution is 3.60×10^-5 M. what is the pH of this solution?

vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pH of a substance can be found by using the formula

$p H = - log[ H^{ + } ]$

where [ H+ ] is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution

From the question

[ H + ] = 3.60 × 10^-5 M

So the pH is

$pH = - log(3.60 \times {10}^{ - 5} ) \\ =4.44369749923$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules

Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 + 4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x <u> 1 mole CH4 </u> = 121.43 moles

6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.

A 125-mL sample of an aqueous solution of the protein ovalbumin from chicken egg white contains 1.31 g of the dissolved protein

Stella [2.4K]

The molar mass of the protein is 45095 g/mol.

The mass of a sample of a chemical compound divided by the quantity, or number of moles in the sample, measured in moles, is known as the molar mass of that compound.

The expression of molar mass of protein is

M₂ = (W₂/P) (RT/V)

Given;

W₂ = 1.31g

P = 4.32 torr = 5.75 X 10⁻³ bar

R = 0.083 Lbar/mol/K

T = 25°C = 298.15 K

V = 125 ml = 0.125 L

Putting all the values in the above formula

M₂= (1.31 g/5.75 X 10⁻³ bar) X (0.083 Lbar/mol/K X 2)/0.125 L)

M₂ = 45095 g/mol

Thus, the molar mass of the protein is 45095 g/mol.

When scientists create a representation of a complex process, they are

Burka [1]

Answer:

d making models.

Explanation:

When scientists create a representation of a complex process, they are inferring that they are making models.

A model is an abstraction of the real world or a complex process. Models are very useful in developing solutions to processes that are not easily simplified.

The models allow a part of a body to be simply studied.
Through this simple abstraction, extrapolations to other parts of the system can be deduced.
This can give very useful insights into the other parts of the system.
The heterogeneity of complex processes is a huge limitation to understanding them.
A homogenous part can be modelled and used to understand the system.
