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

8 0

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.

What is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:

NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA. Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>

C2H5OH( l) + 3O2( g) → 2CO2( g) + 3H2O( l); Δ H = –1.37 × 103 kJ Consider the following propositions: I. The reaction is endothe
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

II. The reaction is exothermic.

III. The enthalpy term would be different if the water formed was gaseous.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)

The  ΔH is -1.37×10³ kJ. As the change in enthalpy is <0,<em> II. The reaction is exothermic.</em>

The ΔH formation of a compound is different if the chemical is in liquid or gaseous phase. For that reason: <em>III. The enthalpy term would be different if the water formed was gaseous.</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
