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.

Answer:

The value is  C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     \gamma = \frac{C_p }{C_v}

The  initial volume of the  fluorocarbon gas is  V_1 = V

 The final  volume of the fluorocarbon gas isV_2 = 2V

  The initial  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is  T_1  =  298.15 K

  The final  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is T_2  =  248.44 K

   The initial  pressure is P_1  = 202.94\  kPa

    The final   pressure is  P_2  =  81.840\  kPa

Generally the equation for  adiabatically reversible expansion is mathematically represented as

       T_2 =  T_1  * [ \frac{V_1}{V_2} ]^{\frac{R}{C_v} }

Here R is the ideal gas constant with the value  

        R =  8.314\  J/K \cdot mol

So  

   248.44 =   298.15  * [ \frac{V}{2V} ]^{\frac{8.314}{C_v} }

=> C_v  =  31.54 J/K\cdot mol

Generally adiabatic reversible expansion can also be mathematically expressed as

    P_2 V_2^{\gamma} = P_1 V_1^{\gamma}

=>[ 81.840 *10^3] [2V]^{\gamma} = [202.94 *10^3] V^{\gamma}    

=>  2^{\gamma} =  2.56

=>    \gamma =  1.356

So

     \gamma  =  \frac{C_p}{C_v} \equiv  1.356 = \frac{C_p}{31.54}

=>    C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol
