Thermosetting polymers have different properties to thermosoftening polymers. Once moulded, they do not soften when heated and they cannot be reshaped. Vulcanised rubber is a thermoset used to make tyres. Its polymer chains are joined together by cross-links, so they cannot slide past each other easily.

The reaction nacl(s) → nacl(aq) is performed in a coffee cup calorimeter, using 100 ml of h2o(l) and 5.00g of nacl. if the tempe
MrRissso [65]

Since the density of water is 1 g /mL, hence there is 100 g of H2O. So total mass is:

m = 100 g + 5 g = 105 g

 

=> The heat of reaction can be calculated using the formula:

δhrxn = m C ΔT

where m is mass, C is heap capacity and ΔT is change in temperature = negative since there is a decrease

 

δhrxn = 105 g * 4.18 J/g°C * (-2.30°C)

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J

 

=> However this is still in units of J, so calculate the number of moles of NaCl.

 

moles NaCl = 5 g / (58.44 g / mol)

moles NaCl = 0.0856 mol

 

=> So the heat of reaction per mole is:

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J / 0.0856 mol

δhrxn = -11,798.69 J/mol = -11.8 kJ/mol

Define Triple point of water?​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>TRIPLE POINT:</h2>

Triple point is that temperature, at which the substance is found in all three states i.e. solid, liquid and gas. Every substance has different triple point, because Triple point is just above the freezing point and each substance has different freezing and boiling point.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>WATER:</h2>

Water has a Melting point or Freezing Point (MP or FP) of 0^0 C or 273K and Boiling point (BP) 100^{0} C or 373 K. Since the triple point is just above the MP or FP thus Triple Point of water is 0.01^{0}C or 273.16K.

What do all acids start with?
velikii [3]

Hydrogen

...

Acids always dissociate in water, which causes the production of hydrogen ions. Not all necessarily <em>start</em> with hydrogen, but most do and all contain.
