How many repeat units are required to make a nylon polymer with a formula weight of 15,000 amu?
1 answer:
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:
Finally, the number of units is calculated by dividing the molar mass of the polymer and the monomers:
Which is about 66 monomers.

Explanation:
The process is not a redox reaction.
The reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride (
) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.
A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.
