Answer:
- <em>During the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule,</em> <u>19 molecules of water are released.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
In simple terms, <em>cellulose </em>is the biopolymer formed by many glucose units. This is cellulose is the polymer and glucose is the monomer.
To have a <em>20 monomer-long cellulose molecule</em>, 20 monomers have been chemically bonded by reacting 19 times, as it is explained in the next paragrpahs, and so 19 molecules of water have been released.
You can imaging the polymerization process as a step-by-step reaction in which the first step is the condensation reaction of one glucose molelecule to produce a 2 monomer-long chain, with the release of one molecule of water: the second step would be the condensation reaction between the 2 monomer-long chain with another glucose molecule, with the release of an additional molecule of water, and so on, until 19 condensation reactions happen, to obtain the 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule.
Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction.
When two glucose molecules react together, condensation occurs. One OH group from each glucose molecule come together, the OH from one glucose molecule combines with the H part of the OH from the other glucose molecule, to form H₂O (water that is released).
The two glucose molecules (monomers) will form one bigger molecule where the two glucose monomers are bonded through the oxygen atom that did not form part of the water molecule released.
Then, a 20-monomer chain means 19 condenstation reactions, with the release of 19 molecules of water.
Answer:
4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Explanation:
Equilibrium concentration of reactants :
Equilibrium concentration of products:
The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :
4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
D. Potential is not moving, while kinetic is moving.
Safety glasses should be worn any time you are doing an experiment, especially one that involves chemicals or chemical reactions. They prevent chemicals or other materials from getting on or in your eye, and can prevent anything from mild discomfort to permanent blindness.
Some pairs of safety glasses have magnifying glasses on them, similar to bifocals. They can be used to more carefully examine something in an experiment.
Alpha particles are helium nucleus ! so answer is A !
it is made by ionization of helium, when both the electrons are out , then two unit of positive charge is one helium and thus called alpha particle !
