What does the monomer unit of Polyester look like? And what’s its chemical formula?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The monomers of polyesters are,

(i) A Dicarboxylic Acid

(ii) A Dialcohol

Explanation:

As depicted from name polyester is a macromolecule which contains numerous ester functional groups. Ester is formed by the condensation of Carboxylic acid and alcohol as shown,

R-COOH + R'OH → RCOOR' + H₂O

Therefore, in order to utilize this reaction for the formation of long chain of polyesters then one can use a dicarboxylic compounds and dialcohol compounds. This will allow to propagate the chain length depending upon the requirement. Hence, the general reaction for the formation of polyester is shown below. The circle and rectangle specifies different moieties which imparts different characters to the polyester.

What is one way an erupting volcano could have a global effect on ecosystems

kaheart [24]

When volcanoes erupt, they emit a mixture of gases and particles into the air. Some of them, such as ash and sulphur dioxide, have a cooling effect, because they (or the substances they cause) reflect sunlight away from the earth. Others, such as CO2, cause warming by adding to the the greenhouse effect.

The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) +

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

Explanation:

(a) Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$

Initial: 0 0

Change: +x +x

Equilibm: x x

$K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]$

$1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x$

x = $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) When NaCl is 0.1 M,

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$ , $K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

$Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq)$ , $K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}$

Net equation: $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

$K' = K_{sp} \times K$

= 0.1044

So for, $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

Initial: 0.1 0

Change: -x +x

Equilibm: 0.1 - x x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

K' = $\frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}$

0.1044 = $\frac{x}{0.1 - x}$

x = $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .
