Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , C_8H_8, M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860

The weight-average molar mass = M_{avg}=?

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}

1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}

M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
DiKsa [7]
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

fomenos

Answer:

The relative humidity is low

Explanation:

The higher the dew point rises, the greater the amount of moisture in the air. The lower the humidity, the lower the dew point. The dew point is low and thus water cannot exist in liquid state but as a gas.

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that apply.
rjkz [21]

The statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position is the elastic potential energy is zero, the displacement of the spring is at a maximum and the net force acting on the spring is zero.

<h3>What is the equilibrium position?</h3>

A body is in equilibrium when the sum of all forces acting on it equals zero. According to Newton's First Law, when resulting from the laws that act on a body that remains in a state of restriction or in motion in its motion, it remains uniformly null.

In this case the only statements that match the definition of equilibrium position are:

  • The elastic potential energy is zero.
  • The displacement of the spring is at a maximum.
  • The net force acting on the spring is zero.
