Where are the following elements to choose from?
The balanced equation for the reaction is ;
2Zn + O2 —> 2ZnO
The stoichiometry of O2 to ZnO is 1:2
The mass of ZnO formed - 358.5 g
The number of moles formed - 358.5 g / 81.4 g/mol = 4.4 moles
Therefore number of O2 moles reacted = 4.4 moles /2 = 2.2 mol
Mass of O2 reacted = 2.2 mol x 32 g/mol = 70.4 g
condensation polymerization, since a byproduct of the reaction is a single molecule of water (hence condensation of water)
addition polymerization is if you add the two polymers together like blocks and should have no byproducts
esterification is when you combine an organic acid with an alcohol. Since neither of the two polymers look like acids, you can rule this out.
never heard of saponification, Im an mechanical engineer not an organic chemist
Answer:
abiotic things
abiotic things aren't living
