How many repeat units are required to make a nylon polymer with a formula weight of 15,000 amu?

Chemistry

5 0

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.

Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Explanation:

If you add dilute HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) to the solution, and you see fizzing, then it is the carbonate. I would recommend doing this under a fume hood, as HCl has a wicked smell, and can make a few people sick to their stomach (however, you probably won't be using 12M concentrated HCl)

Melting is an endothermic process. Using the terms 'kinetic energy' and 'intermolecular forces', explain how the addition of ene
Helen [10]

Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain
sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

-w=\frac{dm}{dt}

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}

-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}

-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}

-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)

-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]

a) Initially: t=0

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg

c) If time trends to infinity the  division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

Which of the following electron configurations describes an element that is a noble gas?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.
