Write a condensed structural formula for the repeat unit of the Kevlar molecule

Chemistry

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}}

andreyandreev [35.5K]
Cylinder A - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 3.2 mL

Cylinder B - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 2.8 mL

Cylinder C - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 3.5 mL

Calculate grams/mL (density)

A. 25 g/3.2 mL = 7.8125 g/mL = Iron
B. 25 g/2.8 mL = 8.9286 g/mL = Nickel
C. 25 g/3.5 mL = 7.1429 g/mL = Zinc

Hope I helped!

guys please help me i've been struggling with this question all school day (what reaction is ___ Mg + ____ H₂SO₄ --> ____ H₂
love history [14]

Answer:

Single replacement reaction

Explanation:

It's already balanced so it would just be Mg + H2SO4 --> H2 + MgSO4

The formula for a single replacement reaction is

A + BC --> B + AC

A=Mg

B=H2

C=SO4
