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.

If during an experiment zinc was found to be more reactive than lead or copper, zinc would be considered the strongest _____.

Zinc would be considered the strongest reducing agent.

<h3>Reducing agent</h3>

A reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" one electron to another chemical species in chemistry (called the oxidizing agent, oxidant, oxidizer, or electron acceptor). Earth metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds are a few examples of common reducing agents.

Reducers have excess electrons (i.e., they are already reduced) in their pre-reaction states, whereas oxidizers do not. Usually, a reducing agent is in one of the lowest oxidation states it can be in. The oxidation state of the oxidizer drops while the oxidizer's oxidation state, which measures the amount of electron loss, increases. The agent in a redox process whose oxidation state rises, which "loses/donates electrons," which "oxidizes," and which "reduces" is known as the reducer or reducing agent.

How many grams of oxygen can be obtained from 250. grams of KCIO3?
guapka [62]

Answer:

Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.

Scientists need special tools to work in the laboratory. These tools are known as___________
inessss [21]
Instruments

The specific type of instruments depends on the type of laboratory that you're working in: some labs for example use electron microscopes, others use mass spectrophotometers, others use multiplex biochemical analyzers, etc. But very broadly, the specialized tools we use in the laboratory are usually referred to as "instruments"
