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

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.

Answer:

Organisms that do not live in water would either have to adapt, or they would die. Other water organisms might move into the ecosystem. Diseases that are waterborne might make a surge.

Write balanced molecular equation for the reaction between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide. Express your answer as a chemical
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

This a neutralisation reaction. The first thing to note is that this type of reaction forms salt and water.

Note that the formula of water is H2O. So write this at the right hand side.

                                    ==> H2O

Next note that the salt should contain the acid radical (NO3) and the metallic part of the base (Ca) written well following the rule for writing chemical equation; thus

                            ==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The next step is to write the reactants at the right hand side of the equation;

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The final step is to count the number of atoms in each side of the equation to make sure they are equal and balanced.

In the above equation, H atoms are three at the left hand side add 2 to to H- containig compound on both side as to balance up. Thus

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The equation 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O is balance.

Use bond energies to calculate δhrxn for the reaction. n2(g)+3cl2(g)→2ncl3(g)
Jobisdone [24]
ΔHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)

Bond enthalpies,
N ≡ N ⇒ 945 kJ mol⁻¹
N - Cl ⇒ 192 kJ mol⁻¹
Cl - Cl⇒ 242 kJ mol⁻¹

According to the balanced equation,
ΣδΗ(bond breaking)  = N ≡ N x 1 + Cl - Cl x 3
                                  = 945 + 3(242)
                                  = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹
ΣδΗ(bond making)    = N - Cl x 3 x 2
                                 = 192 x 6
                                 = 1152 kJ mol⁻¹

δHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
          = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹ - 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
          = 519 kJ mol⁻¹
