Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol

Of the molecules below, only ________ is polar.a. SiCl4 b. CH4 c. CCl4 d. SeF4
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

SeF4 is a polar molecule

Explanation:

SeF4 is a polar molecule because a polar molecule is any molecule that have lone pairs of electrons in the central atom or have atoms that are electronegative and the electrons between that are covalently bonded are not evenly distributed.

The electronegative atoms of flourine in SeF4 are not evenly distributed and kind pairs of electrons are on the central atom.

How is energy transferred during convection?
Natalija [7]

The field of energy is wide and interesting due to it can be expressed by differents way.

The thermal energy is associated like internal energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance.  The transfer of thermal energy as heat can take place via convection.

Convection via is the transfer of thermal energy due to the motion of the substance that contains the thermal energy.
