Chemistry

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 is the best way to reduce the activation energy?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The method of hurrying up a reaction by decreasing its activation energy is called as catalysis, and the circumstance that's added to reduce the activation energy is termed as the catalyst.

Explanation:

Organic catalysts are named as enzymes. Enzymes are protein particles in cells which act as catalysts. Enzymes are proteid particles in groups which act as catalysts. Enzymes rush up biochemical effects in the thing but do not become used up in the method. Nearly all biochemical effects in living things require enzymes. Among an enzyme, biochemical effects go extremely quicker than they would without the enzyme.
