This problem is giving information about a nylon polymer whose molar mass is 15,000 amu (atomic mass units).

The first subject of matter here, is to recall the monomeric molecular formula of nylon which is C₁₂H₂₂N₂O₂, and the definition of monomer (basic molecule able to react and form a polymer) and polymer (assembling of monomers).

Next, we calculate the molar mass of the monomer of nylon:

$12*12.01+22*1.01+2*14.01+2*16.00=226.31amu$

Finally, the number of units is calculated by dividing the molar mass of the polymer and the monomers:

$n=\frac{15000}{226.31} =66.2$

Which is about 66 monomers.

How many neutrons and protons (nucleons) does an atom with

mezya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

None of the above

The atom with the symbol S is called sulphur Sulphur has atomic number 16 which means that it has 16 protons. Sulphur-32 has 32 nucleons - 16 protons and 16 neutrons.Sulfur is a chemical element It is nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.

Name 2 animals that’s are omnivores give an example of a plant and an animal that each one might eat

denis-greek [22]

OMG THERE'S SPIDER BEHIND YOU!!! jk XD lets get back to the question.....

example of omnivores would be us humans but since you said ANIMALS then :

BEARS - bears are omnivores they feed on meat like fish and plants like grass or dandelion.

RACCOONS - their omnivores too they feed on meat like rats (ew), fish, frogs..etc they also eat plants like any kind fruit, grains, nuts ( i dont think all kind tho).

so yup those are two examples :D

Classify the following alcohol as primary,

Nata [24]

The classification of the alcohols gives;

Compound 1 - Primary alcohol
Compound 2 - Tertiary alcohol
Compound 3 - Secondary alcohol
Compound 4 - Secondary alcohol

<h3>What are alcohols?</h3>

Organic compounds occurs in families. The family of compounds is called a homologous series. The homologous series always have a functional group. The functional group is the atom, group of atoms or bond that is responsible for the chemical reactivity of the members of a given homologous series.

Now we know that the alcohols are those organic compounds that contains the -OH group. The could be aliphatic or alicyclic compounds. We shall now proceed to name the kind of alcohols that each of the compounds shown are;

Compound 1 - Primary alcohol
Compound 2 - Tertiary alcohol
Compound 3 - Secondary alcohol
Compound 4 - Secondary alcohol

Write an equation that expresses the law of thermodynamics in terms of heat and work

Anettt [7]

We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.

(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?

q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.

As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.

The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.
