Is PVC a compound or mixture?
First of all, PVC stands for "Poly(vynil chloride)", which is a polymer. What is a polymer? A macromolecule which consists of the union of many (a lot) of units called monomers. In this case, the monomer is the Vynil Chloride. But for answering your question... The PVC is a (macro-)molecuale, or... a compound. It has an structure, its own properties. ;)
What is protein example of a polymer?
A polymer is a large molecule (macromolecule) composed of repeating structural units typically connected by covalent chemical bonds.:) ~ Frankie
What is the structural formula of the polymer used in PVC?
The chemical formula for PVC (polyvinylchloride) is [-CH2-CHCl-]n, where n is equal to ~60,000 to 140,000. Actual useful formulations of PVC also include a small percentage of various stabilizers to enhance the performance and prevent discoloration from light and heat.
"Can pvc columns be used for support, or are they purely decorative"?
PVC columns are purely decorative. They aren't sturdy enough to lend support to the structure they are a part of. PVC Columns are those decorative pieces you see on the front of buildings. They are used to make the building look better.
What organic molecule made up of a long chain of repeating units?
Many organic polymers are chains of repeating elements. These include biopolymers such as starches, glycogen, cellulose (polysaccharide chains), DNA, RNA (nucleotide chains with constant backbone but different nitrogenous bases at each position) and protein, (polypeptide chains with constant backbone but different substituent groups at each position), and other technically organic polymers such as PVC, Teflon, and Kevlar.
Is plastic an element or a compound and if compound tell the formula?
Plastic can be any one of a number of organic compounds or a mixture of several of them. Most plastics are polymers, which consist of repeating monomer units linked in a chain. On chain may contain hundreds or even thousands of monomer units. Here are a few common plastics, the the subscript n representing that the monomer repeats. Styrene: (C8H8)n PVC: (C2H3Cl)n Polyethylene: (CH2)n
What is the material on water pipes?
water pipes are almost always made of a polymer PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)... it is a linear polymer with 1-chloro ethene as its repeating unit...
How much pitching for 2 PVC pipe?
That would depend on how many drainage fixture units you want to drain and which LOCAL code your using.
Is PVC hydrophilic?
Yes, PVC is polar. First off, its C-Cl bond has an electronegativity difference of more than 1.4, which means it has a polar bond. Second, its molecular structure is formed in a way that is not very symmetrical (most symmetrical molecules are non-polar) and its bond dipoles don't cancel out. So PVC is polar because it contains polar bonds, and its bond dipoles in its structure don't cancel out.
What do you think about the performance of PVC Board?
PVC board is normally lighter than other building materials for its honeycomb mesh structure but smooth with no bubble and cracks.It is widely used in chemical fertilizers,construction,electroplating,environmental protection,etc.
What does PVC mean?
If you are revering to PVC as in "PVC pipe" or "PVC clothing" then is stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.
What does upvc stand for?
The plastic Poly Vinyl Chloride is commonly abbreviated to PVC. UPVC is Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride and is a rigid form of PVC often used in the building industry as a low-maintenance material.
