In the formation of potassium chloride, the product, KCl, has less energy than the reactants, K and Cl2. This reaction is .

1 answer:

7 0

if the product has lesser energy than the reactants it means enthalpy change value is positive.so it is endothermic reaction where the heat is absorbed.so kcl will formation will have positive enthalpy change .

How many molecules of water are released during the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule?

Alborosie

Answer:

During the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule, 19 molecules of water are released.

Explanation:

In simple terms, cellulose is the biopolymer formed by many glucose units. This is cellulose is the polymer and glucose is the monomer.

To have a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule, 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.

When water reacts with potassium metal the hydrogen produced ignites explosively on the surface of water .What cause the ignitio

Julli [10]

Answer:

Pottasium reacts with water vigorously and the reation is exothermic. The heat released causes the hydrogen released to ignite
