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}}

Li Ming thinks that chlorophyll is a reactant of photosynthesis, but her classmate Julian disagrees. Who is correct, and why?
Eddi Din [679]

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis. The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight.
  • In photosynthesis carbon dioxide combines with water to produce glucose and oxygen.
  • Chlorophyll in plant is a green pigment that is used to trap sunlight during photosynthesis.

<span>I’ve answered this question before so if these are the choices to the question presented:

An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with a hydrogen atom single-bonded to the same carbon atom. </span><span>

<span>A hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain. </span>

<span>A carbon atom single-bonded between two other carbon atoms, with an oxygen atom double-bonded to the central carbon atom as well. </span>

<span>An oxygen atom single-bonded between two carbon atoms within a carbon chain.
