What is the purpose of polymers?
Polymers are used all around, plastics and rubber are polymers.
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
Is used to lower the energy required to make a reaction take place It makes chemical reactions go faster without being consumed?
A catalyst
Is a catalyst used up in a reaction?
Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.
What catalyst is used to speed up a reaction but is not used up in the reaction?
Anything that acts that way is a catalyst. It is the definition.
How are alkenes used to make polymers?
Usually, pressure and a catalyst (initiator) are applied and the result is a polyalkene or polyolefin. Examples include polyethylene and polypropylene etc.
How PCV is done?
PVC or polyvinylchloride is a material used to make raincoats, according to my science teacher. i was learning it today and she said something to do with polymers n bonding you do polymerisation and it requires a high pressure and a catalyst - i used broken pottery.
What are short molecules used to make polymers?
monomers
Why are polymers used in health care?
They are used to make containers for medicines and also equipment.
What is the catalyst used to make sulfuric acid nitric acid ammonia ethene and magarine?
Ammonia = iron catalyst
When did polymers become big business?
The second world war was the catalyst for huge change. The Allies had no access to Malaysian rubber plantations so synthetic polymers were developed in a large way.
Scope of polymer technology?
There is huge scope for polymers because of thir application in various fields. eg. biopolymers, manf of appliances, catalyst supports, hydrophilic polymers, in medicines, in surfactants etc.
What is the purpose of polymers?
Polymers are used all around, plastics and rubber are polymers.
What is an acetamidoacrylate?
An acetamidoacrylate is the acetamido derivative of an acrylate, used to make specialist polymers.
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
What are the sources of sugar based polymers?
The ultimate source of natural sugar based polymers are plants. Plants make sugar (glucose) by photosynthesis. The glucose is then used to make polymers such as starch (amylose and amylopectin) and cellulose. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide
What is a catalyst only used in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the catalyst that is used in the process of photosynthesis.
