Explanation:

Kevlar is a fiber which is used in making of bullet proof vests and armors. It is a co-polymer which is formed by condensing two organic molecules 1,4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride.

NH_2C_6H_4NH_2+Cl-(CO)-C_6H_4-(CO)-Cl\xrightarrow[-2HCl]{ }

                      NH_2-C_6H_4-NH-CO-C_6H_4-COOH

For Structure refer to image attached.

The condensed formula for Kevlar is attached in the image.

Further explanation:

Polymerization is a process through which monomer molecules undergo addition or condensation reaction to form a three-dimensional network structure called polymers. They are also called as macromolecules.

Monomers are defined as low molecular weight compounds that undergo reaction to form high molecular weight compounds called polymers.

Types of polymerization:  

Addition polymerization is also known as chain-growth polymerization. It mainly occurs by the reaction in which a carbon-carbon double bond adds to a carbon-carbon double bond. There is no loss of small molecules in it.

Condensation reaction is a reaction where a larger molecule is formed by a reaction between two reactants by loss of small neutral molecules like {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}},{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_3},{\text{HCl}}.

Kevlar is copolymer formed by condensation reaction between 1,4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride by loss of HCl molecule. It is heat resistant and strong synthetic fiber which is used in the making of bulletproof vests and armors.

The copolymerization of Kevlar occurs as follows:  

 {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} + {\text{Cl}} - \left( {{\text{CO}}} \right) - {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} - \left( {{\text{CO}}} \right) - {\text{Cl}}\; \to \;{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} - {\text{NH}} - {\text{CO}} - {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{COOH}}\;{\text{ +  2HCl}}

What are the electrons for calcium
IRINA_888 [86]
The traditional calcium atom has twenty protons and twenty electrons making it neutral.


The calcium in the pic is a calcium ion so the number of protons and electrons are not equivalent.


Since it's 2+ that means the ion is positively charged and for that to happen electrons are away.

So 20-2=18

There are 18 electrons

Explain the role of a primary consumer and a secondary consumer in a food web.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers for energy. Primary consumers are always herbivores, or organisms that only eat autotrophic plants.

Carnivores only eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plant and animal matter.

How many molecules are in 100 g of C6H120,?*​
Grace [21]

Answer:

3.37 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 100 g

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₆:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.56 mol

Number of molecules:

1 mole contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.56 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules /1 mol

3.37 × 10²³ molecules
