Is polythene a gas?

Polyethylene (polythene) is a waxy solid polymer formed from ethylene gas monomer under high temperature and pressures.


Is polythene a solid?

yes


Synthesis of polythene is done by which gas?

ethene


What is the state of matters of polythene?

Polythene is a type of plastic that is non-biodegradable, meaning it does not break down easily in the environment. This has led to issues with pollution and waste management, as polythene items can persist in the environment for a long time. Efforts are being made to reduce the use of polythene and find more sustainable alternatives.


When polythene is burned what gas is formed?

When polyethylene (polythene) is burned, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is formed. Burning polyethylene releases harmful gases and should be avoided to protect the environment.

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.
