A

`(n//2)g`

B

`100g`

C

`(100//n)g`

D

`100n g`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the weight of polythene formed when 100 g of ethylene polymerizes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction The reaction given is: \[ n \text{CH}_2=\text{CH}_2 \rightarrow (\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2)_n \] This indicates that 'n' moles of ethylene (CH₂=CH₂) polymerize to form polythene (CH₂-CH₂)n. ### Step 2: Analyze the Mass Conservation In a chemical reaction, mass is conserved. This means that the total mass of the reactants will equal the total mass of the products. Here, we are starting with 100 g of ethylene. ### Step 3: Apply the Conservation of Mass Since the entire 100 g of ethylene is converted into polythene without any loss or gain of mass (no by-products or side reactions), the mass of polythene formed will also be 100 g. ### Step 4: Conclusion Therefore, the weight of polythene formed when 100 g of ethylene polymerizes entirely is: \[ \text{Weight of polythene} = 100 \text{ g} \] ### Final Answer The weight of polythene formed is **100 g**. ---
