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.

Find the time Δt it takes the magnetic field to drop to zero. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the quantities a, B

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Δt= $\frac{NB_0 \pi a^2 }{IR}$

This because ε = dΦ/dt, and emf is a voltage so it can also be written as dΦ/dt = IR

Because ΔΦ= ABcosθ for each of the N loops and cosθ is just 1 here only A needs to be replaced, and it can be replaced with A=πr^2, which makes that part of the equation ΔΦ_m=N*B0*πa^2

A higher temperature of fresh concrete results in a __________ hydration of cement.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

more rapid

Explanation:

A higher temperature of fresh concrete results in a more rapid hydration of cement. This causes reduction in the setting time of the cement, also known as accelerated setting of the cement.

It also reduces the workability of the concrete; as it makes the movement of aggregates harder by reducing the lubricating effect of the cement.

The oxidation numbers of nitrogen in NH3, HNO3, and NO2 are, respectively: -3, -5, +4 +3, +5, +4 -3, +5, -4 -3, +5, +4

Evgesh-ka [11]

In NH3 , let oxidation number of N be x

x + (+1)3 = 0

x = -3

In HNO3 , let oxidation number of N be x

1 + x + (-2)3 = 0

x = +5

In NO2 , let oxidation number of N be x

x + (-2)2 = 0

x = +4

When 1.57 mol o2 reacts with h2 to form h2o, how many moles of h2 are consumed in the process?

natita [175]

Here we have to get the moles of hydrogen (H₂) consumed to form water (H₂O) from 1.57 moles of oxygen (O₂)

In this process 3.14 moles of H₂ will be consumed.

The balanced reaction between oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen (H₂); both of which are in gaseous state to form water, which is liquid in nature can be written as-

2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) = 2H₂O (l).

Thus form the equation we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen to form 2 moles of water.

So, 1.57 moles of oxygen will consume (1.57×2) = 3.14 moles of hydrogen to form water.

Answer:

Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?

a. Al (s)

b. H2O (l)

c. HCN (g)

d. CH3COOH (l)

e. C2H6 (g)

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderness.

In solids, the entropy is very less compared to liquids and gases.

The entropy order is:

solids<liquids<gases

Among the given substances, water in liquid form has a strong intermolecular H-bond.

So, it has also less entropy.

Next acetic acid.

Between the gases, HCN, and ethane, ethane has more entropy due to very weak intermolecular interactions.

HCN has slight H-bonding in IT.

Hence, the entropy order is:

Al(s) < CH3COOH (l) <H2O(l) < HCN(g) < C2H6(g)
