Hi, in some texts number of water molecules released during polymerization is 2n but in others 2n-1 , why?

Chemistry

miss Akunina [59]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Because you only have one repeat unit, n=1. 2n-1 becomes 2(1)-1 which is equal to one, meaning one molecule of H2O is produced, as is shown by the top condensation polymerisation reaction.

If you had two repeat units, n=2 so 2n-1=3. Three H2O molecules are produced because you would need two molecules of each reactant so three condesation reactions would occur and three molecules of H2O would be released.

what would the percentage of thorium-232 ( parent compound) be in a rock that was dated at 1.8 billion years
vovikov84 [41]

The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

A gas at 29.4 kPa is cooled from a temperature of 75°C to a temperature of 25°C at constant volume. What is the new pressure of
kirill115 [55]

<span>To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal </span>gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 25 x 29.4 / 75

P2 = 9.8 kPa

Calculate the density of the items below. (D = M/V)<br> 1) M = 15g V = 5.0ml *
grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.0 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 15 g

volume = 5 mL

We have

density =  \frac{15}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
