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}}

A concentrated binary solution containing mostly species 2 (but x2 ≠ 1) is in equilib- rium with a vapor phase containing both s
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

x1= 4.5 × 10^-3, y1= 0.9

Explanation:

A binary solution having two species is in equilibrium in a vapor phase comprising of species 1 and 2

Take the basis as the pressure of the 2 phase system is 1 bar. The assumption are as follows:

1. The vapor phase is ideal at pressure of 1 bar

2. Henry's law apply to dilute solution only.

3. Raoult's law apply to concentrated solution only.

Where,

Henry's constant for species 1 H= 200bar

Saturation vapor pressure of species 2, P2sat= 0.10bar

Temperature = 25°C= 298.15k

Apply Henry's law for species 1

y1P= H1x1...... equation 1

y1= mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase.

P= Total pressure of the system

x1= mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase.

Apply Raoult's law for species 2

y2P= P2satx2...... equation 2

From the 2 equations above

P=H1x1 + P2satx2

200bar= H1

0.10= P2sat

1 bar= P

Hence,

P=H1x1 + (1 - x1) P2sat

1bar= 200bar × x1 + (1 - x1) 0.10bar

x1= 4.5 × 10^-3

The mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase is 4.5 × 10^-3

To get y, substitute x1=4.5 × 10^-3 in equation 1

y × 1 bar = 200bar × 4.5 × 10^-3

y1= 0.9

The mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase is 0.9
