Explanation of Solution

Monomer:  It is a molecule that can be bonded to other repeated subunits to form a polymer.

Example of Monomers are Monosaccharides (simple sugars), Amino-acids, Nucleotides.

Polymer: A polymer is a huge molecule, composed by other identical molecules.

Examples of Polymers are Polysaccharides, Polypeptides, Nucleic acids.

Homopolymer: Homopolymer is made from identical monomer units.

When two or more different monomers unite together to polymerize, the product is called a copolymer and the process is called copolymerization

we were assigned to dilute 900ppm in to 18ppm by using only 250ml vol flask. firstly we did calc and convert 900ppm to 0.9 ppm to dilute in 1 liter. to begin the experiment we took 0,225g of kmno4 and dissolved in to 250 vol flask. then further we took 10 ml sample sol and dissolved in to 100 ml vol flask and put it in to a spectrometer and got value of 0.145A . upon further calc we got v2 as 50ml . need to find DF, % error (expval and accptVal), molarity, molality. please write the whole report. thank you The format, tables, introduction, procedure and observation, result, calculations, discussion and conclusion
