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.

Explain how you would prepare a solution of sucrose with a molarity of 0.25.
Dimas [21]
Solution of 0.25 M is prepared in two steps,

1) Calculate Amount of Solute:

                                Molar Mass of Solute:  342.3 g/mol

As we know,
                            Molarity  =  Moles / 1 dm³
or,
                            Moles     =  Molarity × 1 dm³
Putting Values,
                            Moles     =  0.25 mol.dm⁻³ × 1 dm³

                            Moles     =  0.25 moles

Now, find out mass of sucrose,
As,               
                            Moles      =   Mass / M.mass
or,
                            Mass       =  Moles × M.mass
Putting Values,
                            Mass       =  0.25 mol × 342.3 g.mol⁻¹

                            Mass       =  85.57 g

2) Prepare Solution:
                               Take Volumetric flask and add 85.57 g of sucrose in it. Then add distilled water up to the mark of 1 dm³. Shake well! The solution prepared is 0.25 M in 1 Liter.

In the laboratory, a quantity of I2 was reacted with excess H2 to give 1.26 moles of HI. It is also known that the percent yield
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1.008moles of iodine

Explanation:

Hello,

This question requires us to calculate the theoretical yield of I₂ or number of moles that reacted.

Percent yield = (actual yield / estimated yield) × 100

Actual yield = 1.2moles

Estimated yield = ?

Percentage yield = 84%

84 / 100 = 1.2 / x

Cross multiply and solve for x

100x = 84 × 1.2

100x = 100.8

x = 100.8/100

x = 1.008moles

1.008 moles of I₂ reacted in excess of H₂ to give 1.2 moles of HI

Mass has to do with how many particles
Ganezh [65]

The law of definite proportions agrees with Dalton atomic theory.

What is Dalton atomic theory?

It state that all matters is made of very tiny particles called atom. atoms are individual particles which can not be created or be destroyed in a chemical reactions. Atoms of given elements are identical in mass and chemical properties. Atoms of

different elements have different masses and chemical properties.

The law of definite proportions also known as proust's law ,state that a chemical compound contain the same proportion of elements by mass.this law is one of the stoichiometry .

Thus ,

This is the reason why it is agrees with dalton atomic theory.
