Answer:
The resulting structure is:
R-CH-CH2 (OH)-CH-CH2(OH)-CH-CH2(OH)-CH-...
Explanation:
It can be said that vinyl alcohol cannot be polymerized by addition polymerization, since a very unstable radical would be formed, which is not possible. Generally, it is formed by polymerization and subsequent hydrolysis of the vinyl polyacetate. According to the exercise, the structure that results with its four units can be seen that the hydroxyl groups are found in the methylene carbons
Answer: The volume of 0.684 mol of carbon dioxide at s.t.p. is 15.3 L
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:
P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)
V = Volume of gas = ?
n = number of moles = 0.684
R = gas constant = 
T =temperature =
(at STP)
Thus the volume of 0.684 mol of carbon dioxide at s.t.p. is 15.3 L
An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.
Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]
moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles
moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles
pKa of phenol = 9.98
We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]
volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula
pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
