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.

A molecular orbital is a region of space in a covalent species where electrons are likely to be found. The combination of two at
lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

The reaction 2a + b --> c + d has an activation energy of 80.0 kj/mol. at 320°c, the rate constant k = 1.80 x 10-2 l mol-1 s-
Naddik [55]
To determine the k for the second condition, we use the Arrhenius equation which relates the rates of reaction at different temperatures. We do as follows:

ln k1/k2 = E / R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where E is the activation energy and R universal gas constant.

ln 1.80x10^-2 / k2 = 80000 / 8.314 ( 1/723.15 - 1/593.15)

k2 = 0.3325 L / mol-s

Research how different fossil fuels compare in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide released per kWh of energy. How much carbon
pshichka [43]

Answer:

About 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline. On the other hand, 22.38 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of diesel. So, different fossil fuels will give different amounts of carbon dioxide to be released.

How do you do this? very confused
Vlad [161]
The problem you have written you almost have it solved.  Take the moles that you have calculated and multiply that by the molecular weight to get the grams.

The STP problem:
use the moles you calculated along with 1 atm for Pressure, and 273 for the temperature and plug into the PV = nRT equation.  (also use 0.0821 for R)

From there you can solve for the volume

Hope this helps!
