Explain the concept of kenetic molecular theory

Chemistry

Not sure if you meant kinetic.. The theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions. The theory is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in motion.

The following table lists molecular weight data for a polypropylene material. Molecular Weight Range (g/mol) xi wi
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

a) the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization is 770

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Molecular                  Mean        Number      Weight      Number        Weight

weight                                                                             average         average

(g/mol)                    Mi(g/mol)         xi                wi          xiMi                  wiMi

8,000-16,000            12,000        0.07           0.03         840                360

16,000-24,000          20,000       0.15           0.09         3000              1800

24,000-32,000         28,000       0.26           0.21          7280              5880

32,000-40,000         36,000       0.27           0.27         9720               9720

40,000-48,000         44,000       0.18            0.28         7920              12320

48,000-56,000         52,000       0.07           0.12          3640              6240

∑                                                                                Mn=32,400     Mw=36,320

so;

a)  the number-average molecular weight

Mn = ∑Mixi

so from the table above; summation of Row Mixi

Mn = ∑Mixi = 32,400

Therefore, the number-average molecular weight is 32,400 g/mol

b) the weight-average molecular weight

Mw = ∑Miwi

so from the table above; summation of Row Miwi

Mw = ∑Miwi = 36,320

Therefore, the weight-average molecular weight is 36,320 g/mol

c) the degree of polymerization

the degree of polymerization of polypropylene can be determined using number-average molecular and repeat unit molecular weight.

now, for polypropylene { CH₂ = CH - CH₃ }

the repeat unit consist of 3 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms

given that;

Atomic weight of Carbon mC = 12.01 g/mol and

Atomic weight of  Hydrogen mH = 1.008 g/mol

now we find the repeat unit molecular weight of polypropylene

m = nCmC + nHmH

where n is the number of repeat of atoms

so we substitute

m = ( 3 × 12.01) + ( 6 × 1.008)

m = 36.03 + 6.048

m = 42.078 g/mol

now we calculate the degree of polymerization;

DP = Mn / m

so we substitute

DP = 32,400 / 42.078

DP = 769.9985 ≈ 770

Therefore,  the degree of polymerization is 770

During the first half of the 20th century, the theory of plate tectonics was developed. Evidence supporting this theory included
Makovka662 [10]

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of  GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

  • The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
  • It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
  • With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
  • Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
  • Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.
