(a)
Interpretation:
The name that corresponds to the LDPE should be given. The functional groups in LDPE should be identified. One fact about this compound should be written.
Concept Introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
The name that corresponds to the PET should be given. The functional groups in PET should be identified. One fact about this compound should be written.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers are large molecules which are composed of many repeating units, known as monomers. The monomers are covalently bonded together. When polymer is made from an alkene, the weaker pi bond is broken and new carbon − carbon single bond is formed with another monomer.
(c)
Interpretation:
The name that corresponds to the PP should be given. The functional groups in PP should be identified. One fact about this compound should be written.

- The process in which an organic acidand an alcohol react to form an ester and water is knownas esterification. Ethyl butanoate ( C 3 H 7 COO C 2 H 5 ), anester, is formed when the alcohol ethanol ( C 2 H 5 OH)and butanoic acid ( C 3 H 7 COOH) and are heated in thepresence of sulfuric acid.C 2 H 5 OH(l) + C 3 H 7 COOH(l) →C 3 H 7 COO C 2 H 5 (l) + H2 O(l) Determine the mass of ethyl butanoate produced if4.50 mol of ethanol is used.arrow_forwardYou use a short period electrical stimuli to observe muscle fibers contracting continuously (tetanus).Chemical agents can cause tetanus by interfering with the motor neurons. These agents include atoxin produced by the soil bacterium Clostridium tetani. One of the symptoms of these agents iscalled 'spastic paralysis'!
