- Write an equation for the formation of the following polymers.(a) Polystyrene, from styrene (C6H5CH=CH2)(b) PET (polyethylene terephthalate), from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acidarrow_forwardA-- ---is/are Macromolecules made up of aggregation of similar repeating units. A)Monomers B) Polymers C) monomeric unit D) monoculararrow_forwardPolychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are chemicals formed by attaching one or more chlorine atoms to a pair of connected benzene rings. (a) Summarise the adverse health effects associated with exposure to PCBs. (b) With a suitable illustration, explain the action of PCBs toxicity.arrow_forward
- Why is the demand for synthetic rubber greater than that of natural rubber? (b) Butadiene is used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber. Why is this more desirable than natural rubber?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between monomers and polymers?arrow_forwardwhat is the monomer polyethene?arrow_forward
- Define concept about Polymers in some common consumer products ?arrow_forwardA polymer closely related to PET is PBT, which is made from terephthalic acid and butane-1,4-diol.(a) Propose a structure for PBT and write the condensed formula for the structure.(b) What does PBT stand for? That is, what do you expect the trivial name of PBT to be?(c) Would you expect PBT to have a higher or lower melting point than PET? Justify your answer.(d) PBT, rather than PET, is used in molding because it crystallizes faster. Explain why PBT crystallizes more quickly than PET.arrow_forwardWhich structure is 4-isopropyl-2,5-dimethylheptane (A) (B) (C) (D) Xarrow_forward
