Use an example to show how branching and cross linking can affect the physical behavior of a polymer.
The monomer of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has the formula C,H,CI. (CI =35.45 g/mol). If there are
1565 repeat units in a single chain of the polymer, what is the molecular mass (in amu) of that
chain?
Recently a team from Clarkson University discovered a porous solid called NU-1000, constructed from Zr, C, O, and H, excels at removing poly- and perfluoroalkyl species (aka PFAS) from water. The density of this material is 0.486 g/cm³ and its surface area is 2255 m²/g. If 50.0 g of this material is placed in water, calculate the total area (in cm²) of this sample.

- You ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.arrow_forwardThe name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this. Suppose you had (200. g) of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula C12H₂2011. Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has alunit symbol, and round it to 3 significant digits. 0 HO CH₂OH OH OH OH The actual chemical structure of glucose.arrow_forwardThe name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon.
