Answer from: moningersavannah

Explanation:

Kevlar is a fiber which is used in making of bullet proof vests and armors. It is a co-polymer which is formed by condensing two organic molecules 1,4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride.

$NH_2C_6H_4NH_2+Cl-(CO)-C_6H_4-(CO)-Cl\xrightarrow[-2HCl]{ }$

NH_2-C_6H_4-NH-CO-C_6H_4-COOH

For Structure refer to image attached.

Write a condensed structural formula for the repeat unit of the kevlar molecule

Answer from: ariellllllllllllllll

The condensed formula for Kevlar is attached in the image.

Further explanation:

Polymerization is a process through which monomer molecules undergo addition or condensation reaction to form a three-dimensional network structure called polymers. They are also called as macromolecules.

Monomers are defined as low molecular weight compounds that undergo reaction to form high molecular weight compounds called polymers.

Types of polymerization:

Addition polymerization is also known as chain-growth polymerization. It mainly occurs by the reaction in which a carbon-carbon double bond adds to a carbon-carbon double bond. There is no loss of small molecules in it.

Condensation reaction is a reaction where a larger molecule is formed by a reaction between two reactants by loss of small neutral molecules like ${{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}},{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_3},{\text{HCl}}$ .

Kevlar is copolymer formed by condensation reaction between 1,4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride by loss of HCl molecule. It is heat resistant and strong synthetic fiber which is used in the making of bulletproof vests and armors.

The copolymerization of Kevlar occurs as follows:

${{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} + {\text{Cl}} - \left( {{\text{CO}}} \right) - {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} - \left( {{\text{CO}}} \right) - {\text{Cl}}\; \to \;{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} - {\text{NH}} - {\text{CO}} - {{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{COOH}}\;{\text{ + 2HCl}}$

The goal of this experiment was to answer the question "what is the effect of a gas' temperature on its volume? " you formulated the hypothesis below. hypothesis: if a fixed amount of gas is heated, then the volume will increase because the heat will cause the molecules of gas to move faster and further apart. to test this hypothesis, you changed the of the gas between 0 and 100°c (273 and 373 k) and calculated the resulting of the gas.
