"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = $\frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol$

Moles of propylene = $\frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol$

1 mole = $N_A =6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = $2.036 mol\times N_A$

Units of propylene = $1.024 mol\times N_A$

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

$=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}$

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

$=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}$

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

andreev551 [17]

Answer: The frequency of the wave is 0.5 hertz.

Explanation:

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu$ = Frequency of the wave

$c$ = speed of the light in m/s

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the wave.

Here in question we are given with speed of the infrared light. So, we will replace the value of speed of light(c) from the given value of the speed of the infrared light.

Speed of infrared light = 6 m/s

$\nu =\frac{\text{speed of infrared light}}{\lambda }=\frac{6 m/s}{12 m}=0.5 hertz$

The frequency of the wave is 0.5 hertz.

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound with a very high melting point and which requires a large amount of energy for melting.

<h3>What are ionic compounds?</h3>

Ionic compounds are compounds which are formed between oppositely charged ions which are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Ionic compounds are formed when metal atoms donate electrons to non-metals atoms to form ions.

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound.

The nature of bonding is ionic bonding.

It has a crystalline lattice structure.

The forces of attraction is electrostatic forces of attraction.

It has a high melting point of 2,852 °C, and thus requires a large amount of energy go melting to occur.

Therefore, magnesium oxide is an ionic compound which requires a large amount of energy for melting.
