Answer:

Plastic polymers

Explanation:

Plastic polymers are usually made up of synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers such as polyethylene, polystyrene etc.

Plastic polymers have a unique property called malleability. Malleability is the ability of a substance to be moulded into different sizes and shapes.

When hear is applied plastics gets soft and can be molded into different forms and then it becomes hardened after exposure to air(dried).

The plastic polymers are usually very cheap to produce in large quantities which is why it is very common in industries.

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.

Explanation:

A copper refinery produces a copper ingot weighing 150 lb. If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. (Assume that the wire is a cylinder whose volume is V = πr2h, where r is the radius and h is its height or length.)

Step 1: Convert lb to kg

150 lb = 68.0389 kg

Step 2: Calculate volume of copper

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 68038.9 grams / 8.94 g/cm³

Volume = 7610.6 cm³ Cu

Step 3: Calculate length of wire

The diameter of the wire is 9.50 mm, so the radius is half of that (4.75 mm), or 0.475 cm.

The total "volume" of the wire is πr²h = (π)*(0.475 cm)²(h) = 0.708h = 7610 cm^3

7610 = 0.708h

h = 10749 cm = length of wire

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.

Consider the reaction: 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) → N2(g) + 2H2O(g) A suggested mechanism for this reaction follows: (1) NO(g) + NO(g) → N2

Dominik [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Consider the following reaction. 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) → N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

A proposed reaction mechanism is: NO(g) + NO(g) N2O2(g) fast N2O2(g) + H2(g) → N2O(g) + H2O(g) slow N2O(g) + H2(g) → N2(g) + H2O(g) fast

What is the rate expression? A. rate = k[H2] [NO]2 B. rate = k[N2O2] [H2] C. rate = k[NO]2 [H2]2 D. rate = k[NO]2 [N2O2]2 [H2]"

Answer:

A. rate = k[H2] [NO]2

Explanation:

A reaction mechanism is a term used to describe a set of phases that make up a chemical reaction. In these phases a detailed sequence of each step is shown, composed of several complementary reactions, which occur during a chemical reaction.

These mechanisms are directly related to chemical kinetics and allow changes in reaction rates to be observed in advance.

Reaction rate, on the other hand, refers to the speed at which chemical reactions occur.

Based on this, we can observe through the reaction mechanism shown in the question above, that the action "k [H2] [NO] 2" would have no changes in the reaction rate.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
