Most organic polymers are named based on the monomers used in their production. However, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is not made f

rom vinyl alcohol, but instead from vinyl acetate that is hydrolized after formation of the polymer. Why can't we use vinyl alcohol in this polymerization

Answer:

Polymerization involves the synthesis of two or more monomers to get a polymer which is usually complex.

Polyvinyl alcohol can’t be used as a monomer(raw material) for polymerization because it is very unstable under normal conditions and will rearrange molecularly to give polyvinyl acetaldehyde.

Calculate the number of atoms of sodium in a 4.5-gram sample
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1.18×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

From the above concept, 1 mole of sodium also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of sodium = 23 g.

Thus,

23 g of sodium contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 4.5 g of sodium will contain = (4.5 × 6.02×10²³)/23 = 1.18×10²³ atoms.

From the above calculation,

4.5 g of sodium contains 1.18×10²³ atoms.

Which of the following statements provides the BEST explanation for the many chemical similarities between two elements in a Mai
rjkz [21]

Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base but is not very soluble ( Ksp = 5.02 X 10-6 ). What is the pH of a saturated solution of Ca(O
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer : The pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

Explanation : Given,

K_{sp} = 5.02\times 10^{-6}

First we have to calculate the solubility of OH^- ion.

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be:

Ca(OH)_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2OH^-

Let the solubility will be, 's'.

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^-]^2

Let the solubility will be, 's'

K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2

K_{sp}=(4s)^3

Now put the value of K_[sp} in this expression, we get the solubility.

5.02\times 10^{-6}=(4s)^3

s=1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s = 1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s = 2\times (1.079\times 10^{-2}M)=2.158\times 10^{-2}M

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (2.158\times 10^{-2})

pOH=1.67

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-1.67=12.33

Therefore, the pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33
