Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When monomers in a chemical reaction combine together then it results in the formation of long chains. This process is known as polymerization.

For example, rubber and plastic are formed by polymerization.

Esterification is defined as a process in which esters are formed when an acid is heated with alcohol.

Saponification is defined as a process in which aqueous alkali is heated with a fat or oil resulting in the formation of a soap.

Fermentation is a process in which bacteria like microorganisms, yeast etc help in the breakdown of a substance into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that polymerization is an organic reaction which produces rubber and plastics.

A certain atom has 11 electrons 8 neutrons and a charge of -1. What is it’s atomic mass
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fission?
viktelen [127]

<u>Advantages of Nuclear Fission</u>

  • Nuclear fission provides cheapest energy . Almost 10% of electricity used in the world is obtained from the fission reaction
  • It offers a low-emission energy solution since there is no carbon dioxide gas emitted during the  nuclear fission reaction
  • A well controlled and maintained nuclear reactor can produce energy for 36 to 40 months so works for .
  • It is a reliable source of energy as energy is obtained from uranium which is available is plenty.
  • It provides very concentrations of energy as it can provide large amount of energy from small amount of fuel.
  • The reaction gives less annual mortality rate of any energy resource with 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt hours

<u>Disadvantages of Nuclear Fission </u>

  • It is dangerous and  also explosive.
  • It creates harmful and radioactive waste products.
  • It is not a renewable energy resource like solar and wind energy
  • It can develop long-term health issues for people exposed to then radioactive waves.
  • It involves high cost in installation of the reactors.

How many significant digits does the number 700 have?
OLga [1]

Answer: 700 has one significant figure which is 7.

Explanation: These are some rules for significant figures

•All non-zero digits are significant: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

•Zero between non-zero digits are significant: They are three significant figures in 203.

•Leading zeros are not significant: There are two significant figures in 0.56.

•Trailing zero to the right of decimal are significant. There are four significant figures in 62.00

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with the decimal shown are significant: This makes "700." three significant figures.

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with no decimal shown are not significant: This makes 700 one significant figure.

How many molecules of SrCrO4 are in a sample of SrCrO4 0.556 moles?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3.35*10^{23}\ SrCrO_4\ molecules

Explanation:

We\ are\ given\ that,\\No.\ of\ moles\ of\ SrCrO_4=0.556\\Hence,\\As\ we\ know\ that,\\No.\ of\ particles=Avagadro's\ Constant*No.\ of\ moles\\We\ already\ know\ that\ Avagadro's\ Constant=6.022*10^{23}\\Here,\\No.\ of\ SrCrO_4\  molecules= 6.022*10^{23}*0.556\\Hence,\\No.\ of\ SrCrO_4\  molecules=3.348*10^{23} molecules\ \approx 3.35*10^{23}\ SrCrO_4\ molecules
