Identify the repeating unit in the polymer formed from the following reaction sequence. C=C-O-C=O ---->1] Benzoyl peroxide 2] NaOH, H2O, heat | C *The hanging carbon is attached to carbon above it, with the oxygen double bond. I know that the answer should be a repeating sequence of two carbons with an -OH hanging off them but i dont follow the mechanism. Sorry for the confusing molecule structure, there isnt a good way to draw on this platform.

In addition to their use in water treatment, ion-exchange resins are used to extract Au, Ag, and Pt ions from solution. Oneof the most common resins consists of a polymer with abenzene-containing backbone to which sulfonic acid groups(–SO₃H) are then added. (a) What monomer can be used toprepare the polymer backbone? (b) This polymer typically con-tains 4–16% crosslinking. Draw the structure of the benzene-containing monomer used to crosslink the polymer.
