Is polythene a chemical?
Polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) is a chemical product.
Is polythene made of carbon and hydrogen?
Yes, polythene is made of repeating units of ethylene, which is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula for polythene is (C2H4)n, where n represents a large number of repeating units.
What is chemical equation for production of polythene?
This reaction is called polymerization.
Is polythene man made?
Yes, polythene is a man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is produced from ethylene, a chemical derived from petroleum.
Why is it impossible to give an exact formula for polythene macromolecule?
Because polythene has repetitive strings of CH2 units, so instead of writing out all of them, it is written as an “n” which is not exact.
What is the monomer of polythene bag?
The monomer of a polythene bag is ethylene, which is a simple hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H4. During the polymerization process, these ethylene monomers link together to form polyethylene, the polymer that makes up polythene bags. Polyethylene can have different densities and properties depending on the specific polymerization process used, leading to variations like low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
What are the chemical properties of plastic bottles?
This depends on the material: polythene, polypropylene, teflon etc.
What is the structural formula of polyethylene plastic?
The structural formula of polyethylene plastic is (-CH2-CH2-)n, where n represents the number of repeating units in the polymer chain. In this formula, each "CH2" unit represents a single ethylene molecule that has undergone polymerization to form the long-chain polymer structure of polyethylene.
What is the structural formula for polyethene?
Polyethene seems to be a variant spelling of polyethylene, or polythene. I have include the Wikipedia link.
What is the formula for chemical energy?
Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
Polythene can burn in oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water what is the formula?
polythene is a polymer of ethene. polythene primary while synthesis is a waxy solid, but it is made into transparent form by processing. The waxy solid which is the pure polythene burns in oxygen at elevated temperature to give carbon dioxide and water. but the processed polythene which we use in our daily lives, will burn in air to form CO2 and H2O along with other substances say carbon particles viz SPMs'. the equation is such that: - (C2H4)n + 3nO2 ----> 2nO2 + 2nH2O I am doing research on extraction of fuel from polythene, so I know a little on combustion products of polythene you. yours faithfully, Piyush Nanda.

Is polythene natural?
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a synthetic polymer made from ethylene, a compound derived from natural gas and petroleum. It is not a natural material as it is man-made through chemical processes in industry.
