Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.

There are two kinds of polymers;

-Addition polymers

-Condensation polymers

Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers  to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.

Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules  to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.

The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.

In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.

In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.

  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

[Given] 13.2 mol O₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 5 mol O₂ → 4 mol NO

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     \displaystyle 13.2 \ mol \ O_2(\frac{4 \ mol \ NO}{5 \ mol \ O_2})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 10.56 \ mol \ NO

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

10.56 mol NO ≈ 10.6 mol NO

What is the value of x in the measure of the angle?
8090 [49]
It is 14, plug it in or use inverse equations. Since they're vertical angles they are the same value. 41 = 2x+13, 28 = 2x (subtract 13), 14 = x (divide by 2).
