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.

How many kL does a 9.51 ´ 109 cL sample contain?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

9.51 × 10⁴ kL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of the sample (V): 9.51 × 10⁹ cL

Step 2: Convert "V" to liters

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 100 cL.

9.51 × 10⁹ cL × (1 L / 100 cL) = 9.51 × 10⁷ L

Step 3: Convert "V" to kL

We will use the conversion factor 1 kL = 1000 L.

9.51 × 10⁷ L × (1 kL / 1000 L) = 9.51 × 10⁴ kL

9.51 × 10⁹ cL is equal to 9.51 × 10⁴ kL.
