Answer:
polymerization
Explanation:
Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.
Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.
Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.
For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.
Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.
Answer:
Notice that the number of atoms of
K
and
Cl
are the same on both sides, but the numbers of
O
atoms are not. There are 3
O
atoms on the the left side and 2 on the right. 3 and 2 are factors of 6, so add coefficients so that there are 6
O
atoms on both sides.
2KClO

(

)
Now the
K
and
Cl
atoms are not balanced. There are 2 of each on the left and 1 of each on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of
KCl
.
2KClO

The equation is now balanced with 2
K
atoms,
The solubility of potassium chloride in at room temperature is approximately 34 g per 100 g of water. Therefore, the maximum amount that could be dissolved would be 34/100 ( 200) = 68 g of KCl. When more than this amount is added, excess potassium would not dissolve forming crystals in the solution.
