Polymers are large molecules composed of simple units repeated many times. Thus, they often have relatively simple empirical for
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

(a) C5H8O2

(b) C2H2Cl2

(c) CH2

(d) CH

Explanation:

We need to find the proportion of the atoms in whole numbers. Given the percentages we can calculate the number of moles and find their proportions.

Assume 100 g and given the atomic weights the moles are calculated.

(a) C = 59.9/ 12.01 = 4.98  ≈ 5.00

    H = 8.06/1.007 = 8.00

    O = 32/15.999  = 2.00

C5H8O2

(b) C= 24.8/12.01 = 2.06≈ 2.00

    H = 2.0/1.007 = 1.99 ≈ 2.00

   Cl = 73.1/ 35.453 = 2.06 ≈ 2.00

C2H2Cl2

(c) C = 86/12.01 = 7.16  

    H= 14/1.007 = 13.90

7.16:13.90 ≈ 1:2

CH2

(d) C = 92.30/12.01 = 7.68

    H = 7.7 / 1.007 =   7.65

7.68:7.65 ≈ 1:1

CH

Coal has an energy content of approximately 2.4 x 107 J/kg, and about 4% sulfur content by mass. If coal-fired power plants in t
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

5.2416\times 10^8 kgkilograms of sulfur will be emitted from coal plants in two weeks

Explanation:

Power produced by power plants in the United States :P

P=2.6\times 10^{11} Watts

1 Joule = Watts × Seconds

Watts = Joule/Second

P=2.6\times 10^{11} J/s

This means that 2.6\times 10^{11} Joules of enrgy is produced in one second.

So, energy produced in 2 week:

1 week = 7 days

1 day  =  24 hours

1 hour = 3600 seconds

2 week = 2 × 7 × 24 × 3600 s=1,209,600 s

Energy produced in 1,209,600 s: E

E=2.6\times 10^{11} J/s\times 1,209,600 s

Coal has an energy content =2.4\times 10^7 J/Kg

Mass of coal used while producing E amount of energy: m

m\times 2.4\times 10^7 J/Kg=E

m=\frac{E}{2.4\times 10^7 J/Kg}

m=\frac{2.6\times 10^{11} J/s\times 1,209,600 s}{2.4\times 10^7 J/Kg}

m = 1.3104\times 10^{10} kg

Percentage of sulfur in coal = 4% by mass

Mass of sulfur produced from 1.3104\times 10^{10} kg in 2 weeks:

\frac{4}{100}\times 1.3104\times 10^{10} kg=5.2416\times 10^8 kg

Why is no dew formed on a windy day or when the sky is cloudy?
joja [24]
Dew forms when the air just above the ground is cooled to its dew point. The air above the ground is cooled because the ground radiates heat into space. If there are clouds overhead the clouds reflect the heat back to the ground so it does not cool and o dew forms. If it is windy then the air just above the ground to the dew point and no dew forms. Thus to form dew you need a still clear keeps on getting mixed with the air higher up and the air does not cooled to the dew point and no dew forms.
