Compare the polymerisation reaction used to produce poly(ethene) with the

Chemistry

butalik [34]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Amoxicillin Suspension 125 mg/ 5 ml is 125 mg of Amoxicillin per 5 ml of suspension is an example of weight to ________.
kkurt [141]

Answer : Amoxicillin Suspension 125 mg/ 5 ml is 125 mg of Amoxicillin per 5 ml of suspension is an example of weight to volume.

Explanation :

Weight by volume (w/v) means that the mass of solute present in 100 mL volume of solution.

Weight by weight (w/w) means that the mass of solute present in 100 gram of solution.

Volume by volume (v/v) means that the volume of solute present in 100 mL volume of solution.

As per question, amoxicillin suspension is, 125 mg/ 5 ml that means 125 mg of Amoxicillin present in 5 mL of suspension. So, it is an example of weight to volume.

Hence, it is an example of weight to volume.

How many molecules of ammonia are formed in the following equation: N2+3H2→2NH3
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

  • <u>two molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of one nitrogen and three hydrogen molecules.</u>

Explanation:

The  balanced chemical equation provides information on:

  • <u>Reactants</u>: those are the compounds that appear of the left side of the equation, each with its chemical formula.

  • <u>Products</u>: those are the compounds that appear on the right side of the equation, again, each with its chemical formula.

  • <u>Ratio</u>: the coefficients of each compound (the number to the left of the chemical formula) represent the ratio of the number of molecules that react and are formed.

In the given equation you have:

  • Equation: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

  • The coefficients are 1 for nitrogen, 3 for hydrogen, and 2 for ammonia. Hence, 2 molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of 1 molecule of nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen.
