A polymeric substance, tetra fluoro ethylene, can be represented by the formula `(C_(2)F_(4))` where x is a large number. The material was prepared by polymensing `C_(2)F_(4)` in the presence of sulphur bearing calalyst thal served as a nucleus upon which the polymer grew. The final product was found to contain 0.012% S. What is the value of x if each polymeric molecule conlain 2 sulphur atoms? Assume that the calalyst contribution is negligible amount to the lotal mass of polymer.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( x \) in the polymer formula \( (C_2F_4)_x \) based on the information provided about sulfur content. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of the Polymer The polymer is represented by the formula \( (C_2F_4)_x \). Each molecule of this polymer contains 2 sulfur atoms. ### Step 2: Calculate the Molar Mass of Sulfur The atomic mass of sulfur (S) is approximately 32 g/mol. Therefore, the mass of 2 sulfur atoms is: \[ ...
