Concept introduction:
In this process, the addition
In this process, an initiator is added to the reaction mixture. This initiator gets added to the carbon-carbon double bond and yields a reactive monomer (intermediate). This reactive intermediate reacts with the monomer and this process keeps on repeating to give rise to the final polymeric product.
The formation of PDCPD is taking place by ROMP (ring opening metathesis polymerization), an olefin metathesis reaction can be stated as the reaction between two molecules (
The catalyst used for olefin metathesis polymerization is Grubb’s catalyst (it contain a carbon-metal double bond and have a genral structure as M=CH-R. The function of Grubb’s catalyst is to react reversibly with an alkene to form a four membered cyclic compound knowa as metallacycle. Here, “M” is Ru i.e. ruthenium.
Metallacycle opens up in the next step to give rise to different alkene and a different catalyst.

Assume there is negligible uncertainty in the formula mass of NaOH and in the final volume (2.000 L) and assume random error.arrow_forwardYou are tasked with creating a calibration curve for the absorbance of cobalt solutions of various concentrations. You must prepare 5 standards with concentrations between 1.00 mg/L and 10.0 mg/L Co2+. You have a stock solution with a concentration of 40 mg/L Co2+ and all the standard lab glassware including transfer pipets and flasks.

To test the new method, the researcher purchases a standard reference material sample that is 2.85% iron by mass. Analysis of the iron standard with the new method returns values of 2.75%, 2.89%, 2.77%, 2.81%, and 2.87%.

Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…arrow_forwardBriefly describe a eutectic system.arrow_forward
