Explanation of Solution
The polymer Teflon is formed by the addition reaction of tetrafluoroethylene.
Consider the given reaction as follows.
F2C=CF2peroxide catalyst→Teflon
From the above reaction, one mole of tetrafluoroethylene gives one mole of Teflon. The molar mass of tetrafluoroethylene and teflon is same. Therefore, 1 kg of Teflon is obtained by 1 kg tetrafluoroethylene.
Conversion of kilograms to grams is as follows.
1 kg=1000 g
The molar mass of tetrafluoroethylene is 100.02 g mol−1.
Use the following expression for moles of a compound.
Number of moles=Given massMolar mass
Substitute 1000 g for given mass and 100.02 g mol−1 for molar mass.
Number of moles of tetrafluoroethylene=1000 g100.02 g mol−1=9.99 mol
Consider the reaction for the formation of tetrafluoroethylene.
2 CHClF2high T→F2C=CF2+2 HCl
From the given reaction, 2 mol of CHClF2 gives 1 mol of F2C=CF2. Therefore, 9.99 mol of F2C=CF2 is formed from 19.98 mol of CHClF2.
Consider the given reaction as follows.
CHCl3+2 HF→CHClF2+2 HCl
One mole of CHClF2 is formed by the one mole of CHCl3. Therefore, 19.98 mol of CHClF2 is formed by 19.98 mol of CHCl3.
The molar mass of CHCl3 is 119.37 g mol−1.
Use the following expression to calculate the amount of CHCl3 required.
Amount of CHCl3=Number of moles×Molar mass
Substitute 119.37 g mol−1 for molar mass and 19.98 mol for moles in the above equation.
Amount of CHCl 3=19.98 mol×119.37 g mol−1=2.38×103 g_
One mole of CHClF2 is formed by the two moles of HF. Therefore, 19.98 mol of CHClF2 is formed by 39.96 mol of HF.
The molar mass of HF is 20.01 g mol−1.
Use the following expression to calculate the amount of HF required.
Amount of HF=Number of moles×Molar mass
Substitute 20.01 g mol−1 for molar mass and 39.96 mol for moles in above equation.
Amount of HF=39.96 mol×20.01 g mol−1=7.94×102 g_
Therefore, for preparing 1 kg Teflon, 2.38×103 g_ of chloroform and 7.94×102 g_ of HF is required.

- ох 4-tert-butyl oxy cyclohex-1-ene Incorrect, 1 attempt remaining The systematic name of this compound classifies the -OR group as a substituent of the hydrocarbon, which is considered the principal functional group. The ether substituent is named with the suffix 'oxy'. The general format for the systematic name of a hydrocarbon is: [prefix/substituent] + [parent] + [functional group suffix] Substituents are listed in alphabetical order.

The isothermal compressibility is a measure of how hard/easy it is to compress an object (how squishy is it?) at constant temperature. It is др defined as Br=-()=-(200²)T' (a) You might wonder why there is a negative sign in this formula. What does it mean when this quantity is positive and what does it mean when this quantity is negative? (b) Derive the formula for the isothermal compressibility of an ideal gas (it is very simple!)
