Since the beaker was heated we can asume that only magnesium cloride is left in the beaker, therfore the difference between the beaker with magnesium chloride and the empty beaker give the mass of magnisium chloride:
They have a different amount of neutrons.
Answer:
7.68 × 10²⁴
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the mass of 1 molecule of the monomer CH₂CHCN
We will get the mass of the monomer by adding the masses of the elements.
mCH₂CHCN = 3 × mC + 3 × mH + 1 × mN
mCH₂CHCN = 3 × 12.01 amu + 3 × 1.01 amu + 1 × 14.01 amu = 53.07 amu
Step 2: Convert the mass of the monomer to grams
We will use the conversion factor 1 amu = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁴ g
53.07 amu × 1.66 × 10⁻²⁴ g/1 amu = 8.81 × 10⁻²³ g
Step 3: Calculate "n"
We will divide the mass of the polymer by the mass of the monomer.
n = 676.8 g / 8.81 × 10⁻²³ g = 7.68 × 10²⁴
