Calculate the number-average degree of polymerization of an equimolar mixture of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine for extents of reaction 0.500, 0.800, 0.900, 0.950, 0.970, 0.990, 0.995.

Answer : option c) heat is released during the process.explanation :

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?

What are the statements?

The population of unionid mussels decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to displace the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase  over the years. the unionid mussel population decreased because  of lack of food.
