Explain why a random copolymer is obtained when 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene undergoes cationic polymerization.

Chemistry

dezoksy [38]3 years ago
8 0

Solution :

In the field of chemistry, the cationic polymerization is a kind of the chain growth polymerization where the cation initiator transfers the charge to the monomer and makes it more reactive. This kind of polymerization reaction is very sensitive to the temperature. With increase in temperature, the molecular weight as well as the reaction rate decreases rapidly.

Thus in the cationic polymerization of the 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, the carbonation intermediate is formed and it rearranges itself. The attack o the 2nd alkene ca take place both the carbonations, so that random copolymer is formed.

A chemist needs to neutralize 25.5 L of 3.86 M chloric acid (HClO3). What mass of sodium hydroxide is
Karolina [17]

Answer:

3.94 × 10³ g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the neutralization reaction

HClO₃ + NaOH = NaClO₃ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles of chloric acid that react

25.5 L of 3.86 M chloric acid is to be neutralized. The reacting moles are:

25.5L \times \frac{3.86mol}{L} =98.4mol

Step 3: Calculate the required moles of sodium hydroxide

The molar ratio of HClO₃ to NaOH is 1:1. Then, the reacting moles of NaOH are 98.4 moles.

Step 4: Calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide corresponding to 98.4 moles

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol.

98.4mol \times \frac{40.00g}{mol} =3.94 \times 10^{3} g

How do you write the balanced equation for strontium hydroxide and zirconium (I) perchlorate
Andrei [34K]

The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of a system must remain constant everytime, it can neither be created or destroyed. This means the number of atoms of each element on reactant side must equal the number of atoms of each element on product side.

First we figure out the chemical formula for each compound by taking advantage of oxidation states which are able to tell us whether an element will lose or gain an electron

Strontium hydroxide?

Sr is an alkaline earth metal which has 2 valence electrons that when both are lost it has an oxidation state of +2. Since we know the hydroxide ion has a charge of -1, -_{OH}, Then two -_{OH} are needed to form compound, hence we have SrOH_2

zirconium (I) perchlorate?

The oxidation state of zirconium is +1 since it is stated that we have zirconium(I). Converserly, perchlorate has a -1 charge which further proves that zirconium has a +1 oxidation state

The product would have a strontium diperchlorate because we know from earlier that Sr has a +2 oxidation state, and we would also have ZrOH because Zr has a +1 oxidation state and -_{OH} has a -1 charge

The unbalanced equation with all chemicals formulas would be

SrOH_2_(s) + ZrClO^{-} _4(aq) ==> Sr(ClO^{-} _4)_2(aq) + ZrOH(aq)

Using the law of conservation of mass, it is clear that there is 1 molecule of ClO^{-} _4 on reactant side as compared to 2 molecules of ClO^{-} _4 on product side. On the other hand, the are 2 molecules of -_{OH} on reactant side and 1 molecule of  -_{OH} on product side. To balance we add a coefficient of 2 on ZrClO_4 and a coefficient of 2 on ZrOH,

SrOH_2_(s) + 2ZrClO_4_(aq) ==> Sr(ClO_4)_2_(aq) + 2ZrOH(aq).

Different molecular compounds and elements
Flauer [41]

A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since only one element, not two different elements, is involved. Examples are the diatomic molecule hydrogen (H2) and the polyatomic molecule sulfur (S8).
