condensation polymerisation removes h2o.....hence...
u can see the ans... :d
and btw...its an amide-peptide linkage(CO-NH)

I would like to ask that What is the easiest way to learn the reactivity series and the tests for ions ???????

Can some one explain addition and condensation polymers pls? thnx
Addition polymers : Two or more than two monomers combine chemically to form an addition polymer. For ex. polyethene is formed when ethene molecules join together.
Condensation polymers: When two or more monomers combine with each other, eliminating water molecules , is called condensation polymerisation. for ex. protein is formed when amino acids combine with each other , eliminating water molecules. More examples are nylon , terylene, carbohydrates, and fats.

Stoichiometry is such a pain. Anyone have any worksheets or notes on it?
Please I require them urgently.

I am having difficulties calculating the redox reactions
Ex: NO + O3=NO2 +O2
Calculating where oxidation and reduction occur......
And Simplyfying Ionic Equations:
Ex: Sn + AgNO3=......
And if possible please send notes on these sub-topics......

Oxidation may be :
1. gain of 02
2. gain of hydrogen
3. loss of electons
Reduction is the exact opposite of it.

Redox reactions are where oxidation and reduction take place at the same time in a chemical reaction. And you don't "calculate" whether they occur or not, they just do. See in the example you gave (NO + O3 ---> NO2 +O2), nitrogen-dioxide has gained oxygen, and has thus gotten oxidized (oxidation). 03 has lost an oxygen molecule, and thus gotten reduced ( reduction). So u see? oxidation n reduction r taking place in d same chemical reaction side by side. check for the loss and gain of oxgen, hydrogen and electons in any given reaction to know whether it is redox >_>

Simplifying an equation is just how you reduce numbers in mathematics :p

just 3-4 equations :

moles (for solid molecule) = mass/ar or mr
moles (for liquid) = volume*concentration
moles (for gas) = volume/24 dm3 (check if its dat only)

and some basics of balancing and stuff
