Interpretation:
Using bond energies present in Table
Concept Introduction:
Exothermic reaction: Exothermic reactions are those in which evolution of heat takes place during
Endothermic reaction: Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed during chemical reaction. In such type of reactions, external energy is needed.
Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.

Chemistry In Context
- Use the web to research the amount of PVC polymer produced annually in the United States. What are the three most common uses of this polymer?arrow_forwardPolymers that can conduct electricity are called conducting polymers. Some polymers can be made semiconducting; others can benearly metallic. Polyacetylene is an example of a polymer that is a semiconductor. It can also be doped to increase its conductivity.Polyacetylene is made from acetylene in a reaction that looks simple but is actually tricky to do:H—C≡ C— HAcetylene [— CH=CH— ]n Polyacetylene(a) What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms, and the geometry around those atoms, in acetylene and in polyacetylene?(b) Write a balanced equation to make polyacetylene from acetylene.arrow_forwardTwo biomolecules—starch and cellulose —illustrate how apparently minute differences in structure can result in vastly different properties ?arrow_forward
- The average bond enthalpy for C-His 413 kJ/mol. 413 kJ of energy is required to break a mole of CH into atoms: CH(g)→C(g) + H(g), AH=413 kJ Using this information, and your answer from Part A, calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction from Part B. That is, calculate the energy required to break only the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units. > View Available Hint(s) HA AHrxn = Value Units Submit Part D Complete previous part(s) Next > Provide Feedback 9:33 PM B.

- Define Polymers and Polymerization ?arrow_forward7cd (JUST SIMPLY ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW) 1. Why are olefins (alkanes) good monomers for polymerization reaction? 2. "Co-polymers" consist of two different monomers ("A" and "B") joined in an alternating fashion (ABABAB...). Block co-polymers also consist of two different monomers, but in this case, blocks of polymer containing only A units are joined to blocks of polymer containing only B units (AAAAABBBBB...). How block co-polymers are synthesized?arrow_forwardAre polymer today becoming more sophisticated in structure? why or Why not?arrow_forward
