Answer:

a) Monomers: monomers are unit molecules, that can react together with other monomers, to form a long chain molecule called a polymer. Th polymer formed can also be in a three dimensional network. The process of this conversion of monomers to polymers is called polymerization.

b) Repeating unit: A repeating unit is a unit of the polymer formed, whose repetition would produce a long complete polymer chain. A polymer is made up of these repeating links of molecules that form a long chain of molecules.

c) Condensation polymerization: This is a form of condensation reaction, that involves the combination of molecules into polymers with the loss of small molecules such as water or methanol as by products.

d) Cross-linked polymer: This is a polymer formed from a type of bonding of molecules. The bonding is usually in the form of covalent bonds or ionic bonds and the polymers can be either synthetic polymers or natural polymers. The cross-links leads to an alteration in the physical properties of the polymer.

A 25.0 g sample of an alloy was heated to 100.0 oC and dropped into a beaker containing 90 grams of water at 25.32 oC. The tempe

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy $C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}$

Explanation:

Mass of an alloy $m_{a}$ = 25 gm

Initial temperature $T_{a}$ = 100°c = 373 K

Mass of water $m_{w}$ = 90 gm

Initial temperature of water $T_{w}$ = 25.32 °c = 298.32 K

Final temperature $T_{f}$ = 27.18 °c = 300.18 K

From energy balance equation

Heat lost by alloy = Heat gain by water

$m_{a}$ $C_{a}$ [ $T_{a}$ - $T_{f}$ ] = $m_{w}$ $C_w$ ( $T_{f}$ - $T_{w}$ )

25 × $C_{a}$ × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)

$C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}$

This is the specific heat of the alloy.

kompoz [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Standard enthalpy of formation is the change in enthalpy of one mole of a substance present at the standard state that is 1 atm of pressure and 298 K of temperature. The substance is formed from its pure elements under the same conditions.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula $Ca(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of calcium, nitrogen and oxygen elements.

The chemical equation for the formation of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ from the components in their standard states follows:

$Ca+N_2+3O_2\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_3$

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

On a trip to the natural history museum you find two minerals that are similar in color. You can see from their chemical formula

lianna [129]

Answer:Yes they are in the same mineral group

Explanation:zinc is the central elements there. The rest of the elements are present as impurities due to where it was found. Like carbon is can be found in the soil, silicon with oxygen is basically sand, hydrogen is in the atmosphere and also in water and soil too. So apart from zinc, the rest are normal day to day elements.
